For the first time, Portugal has an organisation that brings together private agents, universities and public administration for a single purpose: the integrated management of forests and rural fires. On the eve of the 4th International Congress on Forests and Potential for Health, organised by iNature in the town of Luso, Carlos Fonseca, the CTO of ForestWISE – Collaborative Laboratory for Integrated Forest and Fire Management, and one of the speakers at the Congress, explains the work that this organization is doing to change the way we manage the forest and mitigate the scourge of major rural forest fires in the country.
