Mosaico Network

It’s a collaborative alliance created with a common goal: to strengthen the culture of prevention of large forest fires through the exchange of experiences and knowledge, communication with society, and the development of joint proposals that influence public policies on conservation and land management.

The network’s work focuses on demonstrating and promoting ‘Fire Smart Landscapes’. These are based on a combination of indirect prevention measures (through forestry, agricultural and livestock practices carried out by local actors) and direct prevention measures (fuel management by the agencies responsible for firefighting). To this end, the network brings together various entities, projects and associations committed to integrated landscape management in order to build more resilient, vital and fire-safe territories.

The basis of this approach is the Mosaic Landscape: a heterogeneous territory where crops, pastures, orchards and forest areas coexist. Each of these elements acts as a natural productive firebreak that prevents the spread of fire and facilitates its control.

The collaboration actively promotes agro-forestry-livestock activities, recognised as a fundamental strategy for reducing the vulnerability of the territory. When planned and adapted to each social and ecological context, they reduce fuel continuity, reinforce biodiversity and make landscapes more habitable, productive and fire-safe.
