Improving the capacity to prevent direct and indirect risks linked to forest fires
In the last decade (2012-2022), Sudoe countries have suffered a high number of fires, with an annual average of 222 in Spain, 213 in Portugal
Facing the increasing environmental and socioeconomic challenges that threaten the forests of southwestern Europe, the SocialForest project stands out as an avant-garde and collaborative initiative.
Forest areas, which are extensive in the SUDOE area and in the regions participating in the project, are fundamental for biodiversity and suffer intensely from the effects of climate change (increase in temperature, reduction in average rainfall and its inter-annual variability).
The Project will demonstrate the feasibility of low-cost wireless sensor networks (WSNs) for application in forest fire surveillance and early warning systems. To assess the
