Reports on control of forest fires

Reports from the Project FireFight Southeast Asia

Project FireFight Southeast Asia is seeking to secure the essential policy reform at national & regional level within South East Asia that provides a legislative and economic basis for controlling harmful anthropogenic forest fires. It undertook studies focusing on three areas of fire management: community-based fire management, legal and regulatory aspects of forest fires, and the economics of fire use in South East Asia.
