MAP-FIRE: Plan de adaptación multiactor para hacer frente a los bosques bajo riesgo creciente de incendios

The MAP-FIRE project analyzed forest fire risks in the Amazon's MAP region (Madre de Dios, Acre, and Pando), finding that drought-induced fires can cause over 50% of primary forest deforestation during drought years. In Acre, fires between 2008-2012 resulted in economic losses of approximately US$ 307.46 million (9.07% of its GDP). The project developed real-time monitoring platforms for fire and air quality, which have since influenced sensor network installations across all Brazilian Amazon states and a new project in the Pantanal.

• The MAP-FIRE project conducted scientific research in the 'MAP region', comprising the states of Madre de Dios in Peru, Acre in Brazil, and Pando in Bolivia. The project's goals included quantifying fire risks and impacts, and creating community and operational strategies for fire prevention and monitoring.
• Forests in the 21st century are increasingly vulnerable to droughts. In some cases, gross emissions from forest fires alone can account for more than 50% of primary forest deforestation during drought years. These drought-induced fire emissions, which are not related to direct land conversion, are often excluded from national carbon emission inventories in humid tropical countries.
• In the state of Acre, forest fires between 2008 and 2012 caused an estimated economic loss of US$ 307.46 ± 85.41 million, which represents approximately 9.07 ± 2.46% of Acre's Gross Domestic Product (GDP).
