This experience was amazing! I was a panelist at the Green Zone at the COP30, talking about fire and resilient landscapes and communities, together with people representing the government, female fire brigade and indigenous people! #cop30
What happens when you have a prescribed fire at the end of the dry season, fire of high severity with T>700ยบC? The Cerrado blooms! 45 days post-fire and a high proportion of the spp flowering and fruiting. Isnโt that amazing? #Cerrado #FireEcology @leveg.bsky.social @programabiota.bsky.social
