Drought and Agricultural-related Forest Fires in Belize
This case study demonstrates that the CARiDRO tool's SPEI 12 index can help identify relationships between drought and forest fires in Belize's Maya Golden Landscape, particularly during extreme drought. While 'Milpa' farming is the primary driver of fire escapes, climate projections suggest increasing drought frequency and intensity. The authors propose integrating CARiDRO into an early warning system and transitioning away from slash-and-burn agriculture.
