#StayAheadoftheFlames: Five Lessons from Bolivia's Asociación Armonia

#StayAheadoftheFlames

Lesson five: Don’t forget the science

In its mission to protect the Critically Endangered Blue-throated Macaw from fires and other threats, Asociación Armonía can count on the knowledge of Jo Kingsbury – an Ohio State University PhD student researching how bird habitats are impacted by blazes, floods and cattle grazing. Kingsbury was key in training staff around controlled burns and helped roll out a two-kilometre backburn, a fire-mitigating structure the team will now be able to replicate in the future.
