As part of the actions of the Fire Management Learning Community (CAMAFU) in which the Cooperativa Ambio is a member, from the 11th to the 14th of this month the XII CAMAFU Meeting 2023 was held in the Las Joyas Scientific Station (ECLJ) of the University of Guadalajara and Sierra de Manantlán Biosphere Reserve (BR), Jalisco. The objective of this meeting was to identify actions to strengthen the monitoring processes of the effects of forest fires and generate information for decision-making within the framework of the Fire Management and Restoration Fund (FOMAFUR) projects.

In particular, the Cooperativa AMBIO shared its experience in protection against forest fires in the El Ocote BR, from the perspective of a colleague from the technical team, in a FOMAFUR video in Spanish and in Tzotzil.
