Building Capacity in Fire Management

Ethiopia has suffered severe wildfires in recent years. To help manage the threat in the Simien Mountains, we partnered with the Ethiopian Wildlife Conservation Authority to develop a fire management strategy, provide park managers with technical skills and fire-control equipment, increase ranger patrols, implement a satellite-based fire-detection system, and raise community awareness about wildfires. Hundreds of rangers and community members have been trained as part of this project.
