The Role of Integrated Fire Management on Climate Change Adaptation for Ecosystem Services in Tropical and Subtropical Regions

The EU and UKRI funded FIRE-ADAPT project will connect expertise from across regions from the Mediterranean Basin (Italy, France, Spain) and Latin America (Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil and Mexico) to improve understanding of integrated fire management’s role in wildfire management and improvement of natural and cultural ecosystem services. More particularly, FIRE-ADAPT will quantify, monitor and evaluate the impact of integrated fire management on carbon dynamics, biodiversity and ecosystem cultural services in different tropical and subtropical regions with fires whose characteristics have been changing over the last decades. The project promotes science-practitioner exchanges, collaborations and networking.
