Firefight Initiative: Prevention rather than Cure

World

This pre-project derives from the ongoing work on forest fires by IUCN – The World Conservation Union and WWF – The Worldwide Fund for Nature. The development objective was to eliminate the harmful environmental, social and economic impact of forest fires in ITTO member countries. Specifically, the pre-project aimed at developing a complete project proposal document actively supported by one or two ITTO producer country governments from each of the following regions: Asia Pacific, Africa and Latin America and the Caribbean.
