Plan de Adaptación Multiactor para Hacer Frente a los Bosques Bajo Riesgo Creciente de Incendios

The MAP-Fire project investigates the increasing risk of wildfires in the Amazon, particularly in the transborder region of Madre de Dios (Peru), Acre (Brazil), and Pando (Bolivia). It aims to quantify fire impacts, identify bottlenecks in monitoring strategies, increase population risk awareness, and influence conservation policies to support Sustainable Development Goals and the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction. Findings indicate that 2019 fires in Acre burned 1,802 km2—an 80% increase over 2018—leading to 21 days where air pollution exceeded WHO limits. The project also highlights that standard wildfire contingency plans are ineffective during extreme droughts, which increase forest vulnerability and affected areas.

• In the state of Acre, Brazil, 2019 wildfires burned 1,802 km2, which represents an 80% increase compared to the area burned in 2018. This resulted in 21 days where air pollution levels exceeded the daily maximum limit recommended by the World Health Organization.
• Analysis of data from 1998 to 2016 shows that population migration to urban centers and growth in southern Acre have increased the number of people exposed to poor air quality caused by fires by more than 80,000.
• Existing wildfire contingency plans designed for normal climate years are found to be ineffective; extreme droughts increase forest vulnerability and expand the areas affected by fire.
• The project aims to support the Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) of Amazonian countries by providing critical information to limit carbon emissions from tropical forest fires and adapt to the intensification of droughts.
