• CAMS (The Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service)
can reveal that around the world approximately 6,735
megatons of CO2 have been released into the atmosphere
from wildfires between 1 January and 30 November
2019.
* Many have made headlines across the globe including
the Amazon fires, Indonesian fires, the Arctic wildfires
and the Australian bushfires.
* But some lesser known fires also had a significant
effect on the environment and air quality, including in
Colombia, Venezuela, Syria and Mexico.
• The CAMS Global Fire Assimilation System (GFAS) uses
satellite observations to estimate emissions from fires.
Using GFAS, CAMS calculated that fires in Amazonas
released approximately 25 megatonnes of carbon
dioxide during 1–26 August. Whilst this is the highest
estimated emission for August of all the Brazilian
states, it is, however, still relatively consistent with
previous August totals since GFAS records begin in
2003.

• As a very high number of forest fires rage across Indonesia, with thousands of
acres of ecologically important land being burned causing a toxic haze, the
Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service (CAMS) reveals how it has been
monitoring its effects.
• Using the CAMS Global Fire Assimilation System, data from the service shows
that the daily estimated equivalent CO2 emissions are reaching a similar level
to the devastating fires in the same period in 2015.
• The total so far for the area this year (1 August to 18 September) is
approximately 360 megatonnes of C02, compared to 400 megatonnes over the
same period in 2015.
• Data also shows that in recent days the activity in Indonesia, particularly in
Kalimantan, has been well above the 2003-2018 average.
• Air quality is thought to be equally as poor as the 2015 fires.

Mark Parrington, ECMWF Senior Scientist at the Copernicus
Atmosphere Monitoring Service (CAMS), comments:
• “We closely monitor the intensity of fires and the smoke they emit.
Approximately half of the local fire season having passed, it is clear
that these fires are unusual and are causing significant concern. In
Indonesia, burning peat, which can smoulder at low temperatures and
underground, is the most significant concern as it is releasing carbon
which has been stored for tens or thousands of years. Some of this
carbon will be taken up again by the biosphere, but this is difficult to
estimate in near-real-time. The very high and persistent levels of
pollution in Indonesia and the Maritime continent that CAMS forecasts
and monitors are undoubtedly a threat to human health, flora and
fauna.”

> Minimizing forest fire threatens efforts through fuel reduction can
be done by utilization of fuel left.
ØLocal community is the most important stakeholders in this case
because without their participation and understanding the chance
to have better life condition through fire reduction will never
realize
ØOur research finding in two site in West Kalimantan and Riau
Province shown that, actually the communities would like to
change their habit from land preparation with fire to become
without fire
>>>The challenge is the market share of the product is so small....
