Sonda Internacional Conversations<\/strong><\/em> is a video series dedicated to sharing ideas, expertise, experience and possible solutions to environmental problems aggravated by the climate crisis.  <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n

\n

The first installment in the Mega Fires: Beyond Extinction<\/em> report is a conversation from two perspectives: the scientific world and those who work in firefighting operations. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n

\n

We brought together two experts: professor of forestry engineering at the University of Lleida V\u00edctor Resco de Dios<\/a><\/strong> and the head of the Forest Action Support Group (GRAF) of the Fire Department of the Generalitat de Catalunya, Marc Castellnou<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n

\n

How do you define a mega fire? Can fires influence precipitation months after they\u2019re extinguished? From simple questions to extraordinary phenomena, this conversation condenses insights gained from decades of working on fires and forests. We meet two experts in their prime agreeing, disagreeing and, above all, demonstrating the necessity of shared knowledge.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n
