Integrated Fire Management: local solutions, global action
January 27, 2026

Wildfires are a continuous global threat, devastating lives and ecosystems. To combat this, Integrated Fire Management (IFM) is transforming our approach from crisis response to prevention and resilience.

Through the Global Fire Management Hub, FAO and partners unite countries, scientists, Indigenous leaders, and communities. This collaboration shares data, strengthens policy, and translates local wisdom into global action, as seen with Brazil’s Prevfogo brigades and Indigenous firefighters. Protecting our forests through unity ensures a safer future.
