BOLIVIA-UN-COP26-CLIMATE-INDIGENOUS
A woman of the Ayoreo ethnic group washes clothes in Santo Corazon, one of the communities most affected by the drought caused by forest fires, in the municipality of San Matias, Santa Cruz province, east of Bolivia, near the border with Brazil, on October 16, 2021. - The road through San Matias, is a no man's land. Hundreds of-thousands of hectares of once lush forest now a wasteland of twisted, carbonized tree stumps. The area burns every year as land is cleared for the next planting season. The practice is legal in May and June, after the rainy season, with each farmer allowed to burn 20 hectares, but the limit is often deliberately exceeded, the fines negligible. And increasingly, the fires just take on a life of their own, fueled by ever drier, hotter conditions. (Photo by AIZAR RALDES / AFP) (Photo by AIZAR RALDES/AFP via Getty Images)
