The dry season with heightened wildfire risk has arrived; our team remains on high alert!
During the dry season, most wildfires are sparked by human activities, such as uncontrolled burning or roadside fires. The Selva de Urundel team activates protocols to address each detected fire at its onset upon detection. Continuous monitoring is key to preventing their spread into the forest.

Early Fire Response to Prevent Wildfires
The dry season heightens wildfire risks around the protected area.
Fires, often sparked by intentional human activities like uncontrolled pruning burns or roadside fires, threaten the forest.
Prompt action at the source is key to containment. All fires detected this week (September 22-27, 2025), caused by local activities, were successfully controlled.
Post-fire monitoring uses satellite and on-site checks when feasible.
Our team follows strict protocols, collaborating with Colonia Santa Rosa volunteer firefighters.
See the gallery below for examples of our efforts.
Respuesta Temprana a Incendios para Prevenir Incendios Forestales
La temporada seca aumenta los riesgos de incendios forestales alrededor del área protegida.
Los incendios, a menudo provocados por actividades humanas intencionadas como quemas de poda no controladas o fuegos al borde de caminos, amenazan el bosque.
La acción inmediata en el origen es clave para la contención. Todos los incendios detectados esta semana (del 22 al 27 de septiembre de 2025), causados por actividades locales, fueron controlados con éxito.
El monitoreo posterior a los incendios utiliza satélites y verificaciones en sitio cuando es posible.
Nuestro equipo sigue protocolos estrictos, colaborando con los bomberos voluntarios de Colonia Santa Rosa.
