Brazil
This Study Hub hosted the third FIRE-ADAPT gathering in June 2024, and counted on the collaboration of the Socioenvironmental Hub Sesc Pantanal. The activities of this Study Hub aimed to introduce participants to the advances that the country has achieved in the field of wildfires over the past 35 years, with a special focus on the implementation of policies related to Integrated Fire Management in the last 15 years.
The programme of activities included lectures and discussions with experts, as well as field visits to learn about two biomes (the Cerrado and Pantanal) and their relationships with fire. During these visits, participants had the opportunity to interact with technicians, brigade members and traditional communities.
