Intense fires in Colombia's Amazon region so far this year point to rising deforestation by people clearing land for ranching and other uses, alarming environment groups, while officials also warned of pollution caused by smoke.

The burning is occurring in Colombia's so-called arc of deforestation in Caqueta, Meta and Guaviare provinces, where it creeps into national parks and parts of the Amazon rainforest. Preserving the forest is considered vital for curbing climate change.

While hot spots can represent fires, they could also indicate climbing temperatures during the country's dry season, Vice Minister of Environmental Regulation Nicolas Galarza told Reuters. Yet in Guaviare's Calamar municipality, the mayor's office issued a red alert about fires on Wednesday, while Carolina Urrutia, Bogota's environment secretary, on Friday warned smoke could affect air quality in the capital.
