MedFireWise
‘Cross-Med Wildfire Resilience: Harnessing Nature-Based Solutions for Wildfire Risk Mitigation’ The MedFireWise project addresses the escalating threat of wildfires in the Med forests by promoting prescribed burning & silvopasture as Nature-based Solutions (NbS) for wildfire risk management (WRFM). Through transnational cooperation, it aims to mitigate wildfire risk in ecosystems, leveraging ecological processes to enhance resilience […]
SparkleFire
SparkleFire aims to explore, design and implement games to increase awareness of wildfire risk, applicable in the four European bioregions. Fires are increasingly burning out of control in countries where they are typically prevalent, while they are also occurring in countries with high population density and, low awareness and preparedness levels. Integrated fire management is […]
Scientific and technical support for the design of the payment program for the conservation of ecosystem services (PPSE) through extensive livestock farming in Catalonia
The main objective of this project is to provide scientific and technical rigor to the proposal promoted by the Department of Territory, Housing, and Ecological Transition of the Government of Catalonia, which aims to financially compensate for the conservation of ecosystem services through extensive livestock farming. For two years, the project team will work to […]
FIRE-SCENE
The FIRE-SCENE project will contribute to building new and developing further existing competencies, skills and knowledge in wildfire risk management concept by developing novel methodologies and tools for an integrated risk governance, assessment and planning approach to address emerging Civil Protection Challenges (CPC) due to extreme wildfires and megafires in the Mediterranean area under changing […]
Foc i Biodiversitat
The “Foc i Biodiversitat” project aims to integrate sustainable management practices to increase the socio-ecological resilience of the Alta Garrotxa Protected Natural Area in the face of climate change. This space located in the northeast of Catalonia and of great natural value, is vulnerable to large forest fires due to climate change, abundant vegetation and […]
Preparedness Day
Preparedness Days are events organized for residents living in forest areas, who are therefore at risk of experiencing a wildfire near their homes. Various territorial managers (firefighters, civil protection, environmental agents, etc.) visit the homeowners at their houses to raise awareness, going door-to-door, about the fact that their homes are in a wildfire risk zone […]
Desbosiguem!
In the context of climate change, in the Pyrenees, we are faced with difficulties in managing the interface zones between urban and forest (former agricultural land conquered by the forest vegetation). This represents an increase in the risk of fires, a barrier to ecological continuity (which facilitates the adaptation of species to climate change) and […]
CARMINE
Climate-Resilient Development Pathways in Metropolitan Regions of Europe The frequency and intensity of climate and weather extremes associated with anthropogenic climate change are increasing and will challenge us in terms of adaptation strategies at the local level. The CARMINE bridges the local and regional scales by providing impact-based decision support services and multilevel climate governance […]
BIO FOR PIRI
Wildfires in the Pyrenees: turning the threat into an opportunity for rural development over forest bioeconomy. The pre-Pyrenees are characterized by being a forest area in which historically their natural resources such as wood have been one of their main economic assets. However, the rural exodus due to the lack of opportunities led to an […]
RUMIAR
Mosaic landscapes in Prades Mountains natural area: Wildfires resilience and opportunities for local bioeconomy The innovative project RUMIAR aims to generate resilient landscapes to prevent wildfires and promote the forest bioeconomy, by mosaic landscapes management. The project will be developed in Prades Mountain range, a protected area of the Natura 2000 Network and the only […]
