With over 25 years of experience, the CTFC is affiliated with the Government of Catalonia and forms part of the CERCA network.<\/p>\n<p>During his presentation, the main lines of the BIO4RES project were outlined. The project aims to improve fire risk prevention and management in the forests of the SUDOE region through the utilisation of forest biomass, thereby helping to strengthen the resilience of ecosystems without compromising their environmental, social and economic services.<\/p>\n<p>The project is <strong>led by Nasuvinsa (Navarre)<\/strong> and involves the <strong>CTFC (Catalonia)<\/strong>, the <strong>Union des Communes Foresti\u00e8res du Grand Sud (France)<\/strong>, <strong>Estera Innovation (France)<\/strong> and the <strong>Comunidade Intermunicipal do T\u00e2mega e Sousa (Portugal)<\/strong>, consolidating a key territorial cooperation network to jointly address forestry challenges in southern Europe.<\/p>\n<p>On the technical side, <strong>researcher Gianni Picchi (CNR-IBE)<\/strong> highlighted the need to address biomass accumulation \u201cas a central focus of fire prevention\u201d, in a context marked by drought, rising temperatures and a lack of forest management. Picchi advocated an approach tailored to each territory, combining tools such as grazing, prescribed burning and preventive silviculture, and emphasised \u201cthe role of mechanisation in improving efficiency and facilitating biomass recovery\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The seminar also served to highlight innovative regional models such as the <strong>\u201cBosques del Vall\u00e8s\u201d project<\/strong>, presented by <strong>Laura Oliver<\/strong>, Councillor for Climate Emergency, and <strong>Nat\u00e0lia Tierno<\/strong>, Head of Technical Services in the Regional Development Department of the Vall\u00e8s Occidental Regional Council. This initiative promotes the use of biomass as a local energy resource, \u201cpromoting renewable energy, reducing emissions and strengthening local development through new forms of public governance\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ignasi Castell\u00f3<\/strong>, former head of the Technical Office for Municipal Forest Fire Prevention at Barcelona Provincial Council, also offered his thoughts on the main structural challenges in forest fire management, highlighting land fragmentation, the sector\u2019s lack of profitability and institutional lack of coordination as some of the key challenges. Castell\u00f3 argued for \u201cthe need to prioritise technical management, long-term planning and active prevention based on forest fuel management\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The meeting highlighted the <strong>importance of European cooperation and knowledge transfer <\/strong>as key tools for tackling the growing risk of forest fires in the context of climate change.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The meeting provided an opportunity to present the project\u2019s progress, share experiences between regions and explore innovative solutions to improve forest management and reduce the risk of wildfires in the SUDOE region<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5373,"featured_media":64967,"parent":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"content-type":"","_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"class_list":["post-64972","noticia-proyecto","type-noticia-proyecto","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
