The fires in the Northern region have brought about a cloud of rarefied air, which covers almost all the national territory, prompting health authorities to issue an epidemiological warning and measures to avoid possible respiratory disorders.

According to data from the National Forestry Information System Directorate, in 2023 Paraguay recorded over 11,000 fires, which significantly damaged forests.

The same source concluded that most of the fires come from illegal burning of garbage, bushes, fields and pastures, as a cultivation practice.
