We offer expertise to
individual land managers and concessionaires, government agencies and
international development/support programs in defining and establishing an
appropriate fire management system, part of a sustainable resource
management framework.
In the past decade large, damaging wildfires burnt more than 100 million
hectares of forested land, and many millions more hectares of other lands,
causing severe impacts on the environment and human population.
- Wildfires produce smoke, gases (some noxious) and create haze
- contribute to global warming through emissions
- degrade forestsand impact on biodiversity and wildlife habitat if the fire regime is not appropriate
- create immediate and long-term impacts on the livelihoods of local communities and civil society
- threaten the economic survival of forest enterprises striving for sustainable forest management and timber certification.
ZEBRIS is member of IFMEG and provides expertise on GIS and remote sensing applications in fire management.
