Impact of forest fires on the soil
Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC), like other regions of the world, faces the problem of major forest fires every year. This complex phenomenon endangers the lives of people and social environments (rural populations, urban-rural interface communities and firefighting services), as well as seriously affecting the environment, rural development and different sectors of the local and regional economy.
To address this issue, the Soil Community of Practice for Latin America and the Caribbean, an instance promoted by FAO and the Latin America and the Caribbean Soil Partnership ASLAC, invite you to participate in the webinar Impact of forest fires on soil, which will be held on Thursday, October 26 at 12:00 (Chilean time). This event will be broadcast live on the FAO Americas website and will include simultaneous interpretation in Spanish to English.
