O Environmental Defense Fund (EDF) e o Instituto de Pesquisa Ambiental da Amazônia (IPAM) fazem recomendações ao Órgão Subsidiário de Assessoramento Científico e Tecnológico (SBSTA) no II Seminário sobre Redução de Emissões do Desmatamento em Países em Desenvolvimento. Essa submissão adiciona algumas novas abordagens e dados sobre o desmatamento tropical ao documento anterior. O texto do documento está em inglês.
Overview: Global fire regime conditions, threats, and opportunities for fire management in the tropics
Overview: Global fire regime conditions, threats, and opportunities for fire management in the tropics
The major sources of fire regime alteration worldwide include climate change, agriculture and ranching, deforestation, rural and urban development, energy production, fire exclusion and suppression, invasive species, plantations, and arson. Integrated fire management (IFM) is an approach that considers both damaging and beneficial fires within the context of the natural environments and socio-economic systems in which they occur. IFM takes into account fire ecology, socio-economic issues, and fire management technology to generate practical solutions to fire-related threats to biodiversity.
