Although we have very fire dependent ecosystems and, recently, changes in fire regimes, we don\u00b4t have as much data or research in Brazil as in Europe, where there is a much more recorded history of fire and anthropic alterations of fire regimes much older than in South America. This knowledge can help us face the climate changes that are going to occur around the world. It won\u00b4t be different in Brazil and Latin America.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#567f3e\" class=\"has-inline-color\">About my visit to Spain during the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fireadapt.eu\/en\/study-hubs\/spain\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">activities of its Study Hub<\/a><\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#e6613d\" class=\"has-inline-color\">What was the objective of my visit<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Know different fire regimes and ways to deal with wildfires and climate changes, see if the techniques of Spain can be applied in Brazil and Latin America, and bring a little of our experience in Integrated Fire Management (IFM) in Brazil to help also a little to face this problem in the Mediterranean region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#e6613d\" class=\"has-inline-color\">What were the mutual benefits for me and the Spain Study Hub<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although Spain and Europe have much more structure and many more resources, research, history of prevention and firefighting, which we like and help us make decisions in Brazil, we have a great experience in management that can be interesting because we work with very little money and very few resources. That is why we have to have very practical solutions and make decisions very quickly. All this can also help European countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#e6613d\" class=\"has-inline-color\">What the realities of fires in Brazil and Spain have in common and different<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Spain and the Mediterranean have some of the worst wildfires in the world in terms of fire behaviour, damage and severity for both nature and society. We did\u00b4t have records of fires as strong or behaviour as aggressive as in Spain, but this is changing. We are registering more and more fires of increasingly extreme behaviour in our wet savannahs and, mainly, in the tropical forest. Spain, Portugal, Italy and France have many studies on extreme fire behaviour, and that can help us a lot to foresee these behaviours, know what is happening, and be able to act in a safer way to control them and avoid their damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#567f3e\" class=\"has-inline-color\">This is me<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#e6613d\" class=\"has-inline-color\">Favourite food:<\/mark><\/strong> paella<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#e6613d\" class=\"has-inline-color\"><strong>Favourite film:<\/strong> <\/mark>City of God, by Fernando Meirelles and K\u00e1tia Lund<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#e6613d\" class=\"has-inline-color\"><strong>Favourite singer or band:<\/strong> <\/mark>The Clash<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#e6613d\" class=\"has-inline-color\">I admire:<\/mark><\/strong> Lula<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#e6613d\" class=\"has-inline-color\">In Brazil, I\u2019d take you to: <\/mark><\/strong>The Pantanal, because it has one of the most beautiful landscapes in the world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Role in FIRE-ADAPT: co-host of the Brazil Study Hub Organization: Centro Nacional de Preven\u00e7\u00e3o e Combate aos Inc\u00eandios Florestais (Prevfogo), Instituto Brasileiro do Meio Ambiente e dos Recursos Naturais Renov\u00e1veis (IBAMA) Country: Brazil What motivated me to join FIRE-ADAPTThe main reason was to exchange knowledge and carry out integrated research with researchers and managers from [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2897,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2899","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-sin-categorizar"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fireadapt.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2899","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fireadapt.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fireadapt.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fireadapt.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fireadapt.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2899"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/www.fireadapt.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2899\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2914,"href":"https:\/\/www.fireadapt.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2899\/revisions\/2914"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fireadapt.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2897"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fireadapt.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2899"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fireadapt.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2899"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fireadapt.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2899"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
