Eurasian Fire in Nature Conservation Network (EFNCN)
Objectives of the Network
The Eurasian Fire in Nature Conservation Network – formerly
called European Fire in Nature Conservation Network – provides
a platform and networking mechanism for those who actively apply or
conduct research in prescribed burning for the purpose of nature
conservation (biodiversity management, habitat management), landscape
management and forestry. The region of interest is temperate-boreal
Eurasia and the adjoining countries of Southeast Europe, Caucasus,
Central and Northeast Asia. The network is closely associated with the
EU FIRE PARADOX project, the EU LIFE project “Rohrhardsberg,
Obere Elz und Wilde Gutach” and the EU Leonardo da Vinci EUROFIRE
project and supports the advancement of the use of prescribed fire in
Eurasia
This Eurasian Fire in Nature Conservation Network is an initiative of the Fire Ecology Research Group / Global Fire Monitoring Center (GFMC) and aims to build up and gradually expand communication and networking mechanisms in which European Partners present their views and projects on research and development in
- cultural and natural history and prehistory of fire
- application of prescribed fire in nature conservation and landscape management
- fire ecology
