Summary
We will build capacity for Falkland Island stakeholders to respond to vegetation wildfires and to improve fire management practices by providing accredited training from the Forestry Commission. This will help protect our peat lands, from biodiversity and carbon loss through burning, and the community that depends on them. Building on past success, this project will help the Falkland Islands to be better prepared to respond to the increase of wildfires in a changing climate.
