Our project aims at addressing the full diversity of fire types and their different contexts by bringing together expertise from across regions from the Mediterranean Basin and Latin America for the purpose of improving our understanding of the role of Integrated Fire Management (IFM) for wildfire prevention and for enhancing natural and cultural ecosystem services.  

IFM is a strategy to carry out wildfire risk management that includes sets of actions aimed at reducing the negative impacts of undesired wildfires on ecosystem services and human well-being while maximising the benefits derived from fire processes (European Commission, 2018; Fernandes, 2020).
