Forest owners' and farmers' willingness to accept landscape transformation measures for wildfire mitigation
Despite substantial research efforts and significant public investment in wildfire mitigation over recent decades, outcomes have remained insufficient. Current proposals increasingly emphasize landscape-scale interventions aimed at enhancing mosaic diversity and reducing the extent of large, contiguous forest areas. Portugal has recently adopted this approach through a publicly funded landscape transformation program, implemented since 2020, to p…
Gestão coletiva para a conservação de ambientes de montanha
A ação coletiva envolve a colaboração entre diversos atores para alcançar benefícios compartilhados. Identificar os atributos que promovem a ação coletiva para a conservação ambiental é um desafio na pesquisa de sustentabilidade. Este artigo utiliza uma triangulação metodológica entre observação participante, análise documental e entrevistas semiestruturadas para caracterizar o desenvolvimento da ação coletiva e dos arranjos institucionais que pr…
Nature and people
Mountaineering, a burgeoning tourism sector, involves intense interactions with mountain environments, making it a suitable subject for studying the interplay between tourism and conservation. This study conducts a thorough systematic review and content analysis to evaluate the impact of mountaineering on natural mountain environment conservation. Results primarily highlight negative impacts on soil and vegetation in National Parks, contrasting w…
The current policy focus shift from a sectoral to a territorial governance of wildfire reduction is aligned with forest owners’ preferences
Land management for wildfire reduction has been said to require new governance arrangements that ensure the coordination at the local level among landowners and between them and other relevant private and public actors. To promote a shift in the policy approach to wildfire mitigation from the current focus on fuel management, within the forestry sector, to a more effective cross-sectoral landscape transformation, this governance problem takes on …
Wildfire mitigation and adaptation
There is a broad consensus in the academic and policy communities over the need to shift the focus from fire suppression to fire prevention. To inform policies that effectively promote this shift, we distinguish between prevention actions aimed at more fire-resilient landscapes and those focused on the protection of people, i.e., wildfire mitigation and adaptation (WM&A), respectively. With the goal of discussing the usefulness of this distinctio…
