The Brazilian Institute of Environment and Renewable Natural Resources (Ibama) has signed an agreement with the Bunge Foundation to support up to 40 indigenous brigades, which will be able to work to combat forest and burning fires. The partnership was announced on Tuesday (29), in Brasilia.
Cooperation, which strengthens the National Center for Forest Fire Prevention and Fighting (Prevfogo), from Ibama, has two axes: one formative and one of maintaining mobile rooms. In all, there will be six rooms, distributed in five states: Mato Grosso, Mato Grosso do Sul, Pará, Maranhão and Tocantins.
The Foundation has already donated six kits of drones and notebooks to Mato Grosso, Mato Grosso do Sul and Pará communities. Prevfogo teams already have seven aircraft from the AW119 Koala model, which transports them quickly in operations, especially in difficult places.

For this purpose, The Foundation develops actions under the Semêa Project, with emphasis on the recovery of areas and preservation of vegetation and water. It can be part of large farmers, family farmers and traditional peoples.
“This partnership with Ibama is to offer conditions, especially technological and training, so that traditional peoples can indeed be the large guardians of their areas, their reserves, either for the issue of fire and prevention, whether for improper occupations or irregular deforestation,” says the representative of the Foundation.
