In five year cycles he and his team have been burning parcels of the Cabreira mountain range. He explains the difference between prescribed fires and wildfires is in the severity of the burn. \u201cA natural fire destroys the vegetation, destroys the soil and then in the next rains the [burnt] soil is washed away and only the rocks remain. [With prescribed burns] we are now burning the top part of the vegetation, the plant doesn't die, the roots don\u2019t die, it remains fixed to the soil and in about a month it will start to grow again.\u201d <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<section id=\"two_images-block_afc1634abcfead132adcbb13db5bd92f\" class=\"block_two_images\">\n\t<div class=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"row justify-content-center align-items-start\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"col-12 col-md-6 mb-3\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"responsive_image\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/test.sondainternacional.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/02_paulo-nunes-dos-santos_soluciones_sonda-internacional.jpg\" data-lightbox=\"two_images-block_afc1634abcfead132adcbb13db5bd92f_1\" data-title=\"\" class=\"img-lightbox-link\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/test.sondainternacional.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/02_paulo-nunes-dos-santos_soluciones_sonda-internacional.jpg\" alt=\"Sonda internacional\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"caption-cta left\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"caption-text\"><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nelson Rodrigues, a fire technician with the Vieira do Minho City Council, uses a drip torch to light gorse bushes during a prescribed burn in Serra da Cabreira, Braga district, northern Portugal. \u00a9 Paulo Nunes dos Santos for Sonda Internacional <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span id=\"info-icon\" class=\"info-icon\" href=\"\"><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"col-12 col-md-6 mb-3\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"responsive_image\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/test.sondainternacional.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/03_paulo-nunes-dos-santos_soluciones_sonda-internacional.jpg\" data-lightbox=\"two_images-block_afc1634abcfead132adcbb13db5bd92f_2\" data-title=\"\" class=\"img-lightbox-link\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/test.sondainternacional.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/03_paulo-nunes-dos-santos_soluciones_sonda-internacional.jpg\" alt=\"sonda internacional\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"caption-cta right\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"caption-text\"><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A group of firefighters attend a debrief ahead of a prescribed burn in Serra da Cabreira, northern Portugal. \u00a9 Paulo Nunes dos Santos for Sonda Internacional <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span id=\"info-icon\" class=\"info-icon\" href=\"\"><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t.acf-block-component .block_two_images .row {\n\t\t--bs-gutter-x: 1.5rem;\n\t\t--bs-gutter-y: 0;\n\t\tdisplay: flex;\n\t\tflex-wrap: wrap;\n\t}\n\t\n\t.acf-block-component .block_two_images .row .row {\n\t\tpadding: 0px;\n\t}\n\t\n\t.acf-block-component .block_two_images .col-md-6 {\n\t\tflex: 0 0 auto;\n\t\tpadding: 1%;\n\t\twidth: 48%;\n\t}\n\t\n\t.acf-block-component .block_two_images .caption-text {\n\t\tdisplay: none;\n\t}\n\t\n\t.acf-block-component .block_two_images .img-lightbox-link {\n\t\tcursor: default;\n\t\tpointer-events: none;        \n\t\ttext-decoration: none;\n\t}\n\t\n\n<\/style>\n\n<div class=\"container\"><div class=\"row align-items-center justify-content-center\"><div class=\"col-12 col-md-10 pb-1\">\n<p>Nelson is confident, due to their interventions, a mega fire would not be able to develop in the area he controls.

Judit and her husband Joan sell their goats cheese and meat under the Ramats de Foc seal supporting the cost efficiency of their extensive grazing work. \u201cThe goats feed on the undergrowth.

To create the biofuel, wood residues are collected from the public forest, dried out, reduced to small wood chips and then used for heating in municipal buildings like the local pool, day care centre and library. The biofuel replaces natural gas and diesel oil, which in the case of the latter, costs more than three times the price and emits more than 12 times the CO2 to produce 10 MWh of energy. \u201cThe fact that this biomass stays in the town and saves on all the diesel or natural gas or all the heating that had to be spent in these facilities, well of course, for me it is the perfect circle,\u201d said lead coordinator of the project, engineer and forestry technician, Anna Ivars, 46, of the Catalan Government.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<section id=\"two_images-block_505d905f3173cbb775e93dfc20143fe3\" class=\"block_two_images\">\n\t<div class=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"row justify-content-center align-items-start\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"col-12 col-md-6 mb-3\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"responsive_image\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/test.sondainternacional.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/15_paulo-nunes-dos-santos_soluciones_sonda-internacional.jpg\" data-lightbox=\"two_images-block_505d905f3173cbb775e93dfc20143fe3_1\" data-title=\"\" class=\"img-lightbox-link\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/test.sondainternacional.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/15_paulo-nunes-dos-santos_soluciones_sonda-internacional.jpg\" alt=\"Sonda internacional\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"caption-cta left\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"caption-text\"><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A council worker refuels the boiler of the El Pont de Suert swimming pool, with biomass extracted from the surrounding forests. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a9 Paulo Nunes dos Santos for Sonda Internacional<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span id=\"info-icon\" class=\"info-icon\" href=\"\"><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"col-12 col-md-6 mb-3\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"responsive_image\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/test.sondainternacional.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/16_paulo-nunes-dos-santos_soluciones_sonda-internacional.jpg\" data-lightbox=\"two_images-block_505d905f3173cbb775e93dfc20143fe3_2\" data-title=\"\" class=\"img-lightbox-link\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/test.sondainternacional.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/16_paulo-nunes-dos-santos_soluciones_sonda-internacional.jpg\" alt=\"sonda internacional\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"caption-cta right\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"caption-text\"><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Council workers refuel the boiler of the El Pont de Suert swimming pool, with biomass extracted from the surrounding forests. \u00a9 Paulo Nunes dos Santos for Sonda Internacional <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span id=\"info-icon\" class=\"info-icon\" href=\"\"><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t.acf-block-component .block_two_images .row {\n\t\t--bs-gutter-x: 1.5rem;\n\t\t--bs-gutter-y: 0;\n\t\tdisplay: flex;\n\t\tflex-wrap: wrap;\n\t}\n\t\n\t.acf-block-component .block_two_images .row .row {\n\t\tpadding: 0px;\n\t}\n\t\n\t.acf-block-component .block_two_images .col-md-6 {\n\t\tflex: 0 0 auto;\n\t\tpadding: 1%;\n\t\twidth: 48%;\n\t}\n\t\n\t.acf-block-component .block_two_images .caption-text {\n\t\tdisplay: none;\n\t}\n\t\n\t.acf-block-component .block_two_images .img-lightbox-link {\n\t\tcursor: default;\n\t\tpointer-events: none;        \n\t\ttext-decoration: none;\n\t}\n\t\n\n<\/style>\n\n<div class=\"container\"><div class=\"row align-items-center justify-content-center\"><div class=\"col-12 col-md-10 pb-1\">\n<p>The initiative is warming council buildings but its long-term objective is to promote the strength of the forest through active management and selective clearing.
