In Acre State, the fire incidence coupled with extreme droughts in 2005 and 2010 led to an increase-from 1.2% to 27%-in hospitalisations of children  due to respiratory diseases . The same evidence was found among the rapidly deforested areas known as the 'Arc of Deforestation', with a dramatically higher number of respiratory diseases recorded, mainly in children under 5 years . There is also evidence for interlinked dynamics between deforestation, urbanisation and incidence of fire episodes providing an appropriate environment for Anopheles darlingi vector propagation and the increased incidence of malaria in the region . In the 2005 drought, burning in Acre alone recorded 400,000 people affected and the loss of 300,000 ha of forest with direct costs of USD 50 million . In 2010, the fires during the drought were approximately 16 times larger than those in the meteorologically normal years . The estimated total economic loss in 2010 was about USD 243.36 + 85.05 million, representing 9.07 + 2.46% of Acre's GDP . The economic and non- economic losses associated with the impacts of climate change and future risks of fire outbreaks on native food crops , livelihoods, tourism, medicinal and spiritual sites, culture, migration patterns, place-based attachments, emotional and mental distress among the most affected and vulnerable population as Indigenous Peoples and traditional communities are still to be fully estimated for the region . Also relevant is a trend of Amazonian forest fires spreading from the southern Brazilian Amazon to Bolivia and Peru, indicating that transboundary burning increases are systemic and will lead to extensive economic losses of wild crops, infrastructure and livelihoods, requiring a landscape level approach for deforestation and fire management and control .
