Where this data comes from

Perimeters come from GWIS (Copernicus, CC BY 4.0), rebuilt from heat detections, and municipal boundaries from geoBoundaries/Milton Solano, of the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute, on ArcGIS online, GIS Laboratory. Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute, Panama, 2012 (Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0)). The area per municipality is computed by WorldFires by crossing both. The forecast is from Open-Meteo (CC BY 4.0).
