Forest fires in the Amazon region, particularly in Brazil, Bolivia, and Paraguay, have generated unprecedented carbon emissions, surpassing historical figures and annual averages. This environmental crisis, driven by high temperatures, prolonged droughts, and low humidity, has not only devastated local ecosystems but also severely degraded air quality across much of the South American continent, with effects extending into the Northern Hemisphere. The relevance of this report for the open data community lies in transparent access to critical information on climate change. Programs such as CAMS provide updated, open global datasets that are essential for researchers, policymakers, and citizens to monitor environmental impacts in real time. These data enable verification of the scale of natural disasters and assessment of the effectiveness of mitigation policies. Transparency in atmospheric data facilitates accountability and informed decision-making in response to environmental emergencies. By making these measurements accessible, civil society is empowered to demand concrete actions against deforestation and climate change. This availability of information is fundamental to building a coordinated global response to the increasing frequency and intensity of forest fires in the Amazon.
