Joint Strategy for the recovering and protection of ecosystems damaged by Forests Fires

Southwestern Europe is threatened by forest fires and suffers of their consequences such as water pollution, infrastructures damages or crop production losses. EPyRIS provides a shared management strategy built by actors who are involved in forests management at different territorial levels. Thus, it allows to anticipate critical situations through vulnerability analysis, to optimize post fires emergency procedures and to disseminate methodologies based on previous experiences.
Management

To optimize pre and post fires emergency procedures.

Tools

A shared management strategy built by actors who are involved in forests management at different territorial levels.

Capacity building

To disseminate methodologies based on previous experiences and build capacities on the partners of the project.

Joint Strategy for the recovering and protection of ecosystems damaged by Forests Fires

Partners of the project

Funded by the Interreg Sudoe programme and the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF)

Interreg Sudoe Programme is part of the European territorial cooperation objective known as Interreg, which is financed by one of the European structural funds: the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF). The current programming period covers from 2014 to 2020. Its two previous programme generations were Sudoe 2000-2006 and Sudoe 2007-2013.

The European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) aims to strengthen economic and social cohesion in the European Union by correcting imbalances between its regions.

  • The southwest of Europe shares the threat of forest fires, increased in a scenario of socio-economic change and climate change.

    EPyRIS

  • Biodiversity, soil and ecosystem services are directly affected resources, both in the area of fire and downstream, leading to added risks such as contamination of drinking water, floods, damage to infrastructure, crop loss or decrease of land productivity.

    EPyRIS

  • The window of opportunity to effectively stabilize the affected areas is greatly reduced in time and resources, especially in case of large fires, and an early response is crucial to optimize the benefits of subsequent emergency actions.

    EPyRIS

  • EPyRIS offers a joint management strategy that effectively addresses the risks arising from the occurrence of forest fires in natural areas of SUDOE.

    EPyRIS

  • EPyRIS ofrece una estrategia de gestión conjunta que permite abordar eficazmente los riesgos derivados de la ocurrencia de incendios forestales en espacios naturales del SUDOE.

    EPyRIS

  • La ventana de oportunidad para estabilizar de manera efectiva las zonas afectadas es muy reducida en tiempo y recursos, especialmente en caso de grandes incendios, y una respuesta anticipada es crucial para optimizar los beneficios de las actuaciones de emergencia posteriores.

    EPyRIS

  • La biodiversidad, el suelo y los servicios ecosistémicos son recursos afectados de manera directa, tanto en el área del incendio como aguas abajo, conllevando riesgos añadidos como contaminación de agua potable, inundaciones, daños a infraestructuras, arruinamiento de cosechas o pérdida de productividad de la tierra.

    EPyRIS

  • El sudoeste europeo comparte la amenaza de los incendios forestales, aumentada en un escenario de cambio socioeconómico y cambio climático.
