Great news out of Bolivia: Torrential downpours seem to have quenched millions of acres of burning land, authorities day.
“It has rained all across Chiquitanía and our satellite no longer shows any active forest fires,” a Santa Cruz region authority said.
The flames activated mass dissents against the ecological arrangements of President Evo Morales.
Several thousands showed against the president on Friday.
The earth priest of Santa Cruz territory, Cinthia Asín, said that firemen would keep on observing the region for an additional 24 hours to ensure none of the bursts would reignite.

Video distributed by Bolivian day by day La Opinión indicated firemen hopping with satisfaction as the downpours originally began.
It isn’t yet clear if the flames in different zones of Bolivia have likewise been put out by the downpours.
The flames initially began in May and declined in August with NGO Friends of Nature Foundation (FAN) assessing that in excess of 4,000,000 hectares of land have been decimated crosswise over Bolivia.
About 2.9 million hectares of field and timberland were scorched in the Chiquitanía zone alone with practically 50% of that land in secured regions, incorporating into the Otuquis national park, as indicated by Ms Asín.
Santa Clause Cruz is the locale hit hardest the flames and its occupants have been encouraging President Morales to pronounce a national crisis with the expectation that increasingly worldwide guide would arrive at the territory.
Mr Morales requested global guide yet avoided pronouncing a national crisis.
