📋 Tender Overview
Training and awareness actions seek to reduce the risk of forest fires in the Ancash region.The National Forestry and Wildlife Service (Serfor), of the Ministry of Agrarian Development and Irrigation (Midagri), continues to reinforce forest fire prevention actions in the Ancash region in the face of the dry season, a period in which the risk of occurrence of these events that affect ecosystems, forest resources and wildlife increases.
As part of these actions, specialists from the Ancash del Serfor Technical Forestry and Wildlife Administration (ATFFS) provided training and technical assistance in forest plantation management to the rural community of Yunguilla.
Likewise, they developed awareness-raising and technical assistance days on forest fire prevention in the districts of Huallanca and San Luis, where the active participation of citizens and local authorities was promoted.
In this regard, Hugo Carrillo, Serfor specialist, highlighted the importance of adopting preventive actions to avoid environmental and economic damage.
It is important to prevent forest fires to protect forest and wildlife resources. In addition, prevention generates significant economic savings compared to the costs involved in responding to an emergency. At Serfor we are open to coordinating and providing technical assistance to municipalities and the population that requires it, he said.
During the activities, participants strengthened their knowledge about the causes and consequences of forest fires, as well as the prevention and response measures that can be implemented by communities and local governments for adequate fire management.
With these interventions, Serfor reaffirms its commitment to working in an articulated manner with local authorities, community organizations and citizens to strengthen the prevention of forest fires and contribute to the sustainable conservation of the forest ecosystems of the Ancash region.
