This report presents the impacts of fires recorded during 2019 for Indigenous Peoples in Isolation and Initial Contact (PIACI) and their territories, based on a methodology that incorporates three local situation reports. In these reports, the voices of the peoples who share territory with the PIACIs play a central role. Through maps, geo-referenced information and direct testimonies, the report reconstructs the serious events that occurred during 2019 in vast regions of the Amazon and the Gran Chaco Americano.

This report has been an enormous collective effort to gather information in seven countries (Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Paraguay, Peru and Venezuela) and in different regions. The document brings together the valuable experience of many indigenous and civil society organizations working to protect other isolated indigenous groups. The report includes a country chapter as well as a regional analysis of the situation of IPACI. In addition to the local and regional analysis, the report presents concrete recommendations to states, multilateral agencies and the organized civil society from the perspective of strengthening the protection of IPACI.
