Development and experimentation on a demonstrative basis in the territories of the partner entities of new solutions in response to the challenges identified in the extraction of biomass for the prevention of forest fires: 1)Methodology to reduce the impact on biodiversity in the application of fire prevention plans Experimentation in the application of new methodology to introduce measures to preserve biodiversity and reduce impact in the implementation of fire prevention plans. Pilot action tested in Catalonia ES and Pyrenees Orientales FR 2)Innovation in extraction techniques to improve the resilience and resilience of forests to forest fires. Experimentation through testing of new techniques and evaluation in terms of cost-effectiveness and impact on biodiversity of different methods. Pilot action tested in Cerdaña Baja (Catalonia ES) and Cerdaña Alta (Occitanie FR). 3)Model of management of the collection, treatment and local use of biomass Model with a holistic approach to sustainable forest management, focused on maximising the natural potential of the forest, reducing the risk of fire and increasing the economic value of forest biomass locally through treatment facilities, distribution, and cogeneration plants in rural areas. Experimentation in Tamega e Sousa (PT) and Pays des Nestes (FR) 4)Programme for the training of personnel for biomass extraction in rural areas Programme to train staff in rural areas to ensure the sustainable management of forest resources and the viability of extraction plans for fire prevention and quality job creation. It will be tested in Navarra ES and made available to other territories. Pilot projects have generated exemplary solutions that will be incorporated into the common strategy and adopted by partner entities and other entities.
