Global Fire Initiative The Nature Conservancy launched the Global Fire Initiative in 2002 to help combat the threats that too much, too little or the wrong kind of fire pose to biodiversity conservation. The Initiative is active in 11 countries where we are working with partners to find solutions that allow fire to play a role in places where it benefits nature and people, and keep fire out of places where it is destructive. This web site was developed to share insights, tools and approaches to combat fire-related biodiversity threats. |
