The Amazon Dashboard tracks individual fires in the Amazon region using a new approach to cluster and classify VIIRS active fire detections by fire type (see Methods). Based on the fire location, intensity, duration, and spread rate, each individual event is classified as a deforestation fire, understory forest fire, small clearing & agricultural fire, or savanna fire. The data and summary figures are updated daily using the combined active fire detections from the VIIRS instruments on the Suomi-NPP and NOAA-20 satellites. Please use the map interface to explore specific regions or fires of interest, including fires burning in protected areas or indigenous territories, or download the data in shapefile format for a complete look at 2020 fire activity across the southern Amazon study region (0-25S).
