The publication presents two models of institutional frameworks for the development of a national policy for compensating reduced emissions from deforestation and forest degradation (REDD) in Brazil. In addition, the book demonstrates the country’s favorable conditions for the implementation of a REDD regime and presents possible sources of funding. The expectation is that a REDD policy will help the establishment of a new development model in the Amazon, based on low-carbon technologies. Revised and updated edition.

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.
