Together with the local environmental secretary, our partner Idesam has been providing training activities to raise awareness on fire in Apui, a municipality in the Brazilian Amazon state that was heavenly affected by the recent fire outbreaks. The local fire brigade now has 14 new fully trained members.
Though the brigade is still doing rounds to search for new fire outbreaks, the situation is more under control now and few firebreaks are still happening in Apui. This means that the restoration activities were able to start: seedlings from the nurseries are being transported to the affected areas to support local farmers. The goal is to plant at least what was lost in the recent Amazon fires and to protect the trees that are still standing.
