Our Work

Six firefighters in yellow shirts, green pants, and helmets stand together in a wooded area, each holding tools for fighting wildfires. The background shows trees and brush.

Our Work

Across the globe, billions of dollars of capital is invested each year in efforts to research, prevent, fight, and recover from wildfires. However, this investment is not uniform across all regions and nations impacted by fire, leaving many communities without sufficient scientific knowledge to develop effective strategies for their specific constellation of variables. The Global Wildfire Collective carries out an array of activities to aid in the development and dissemination of knowledge and strategies.

Our Pillars of Focus

Wildfire research and management span an immense range of topics, scales, and disciplines. However, to bring focus and foster meaningful collaboration, we define four key pillars of concentration to organize our discussions, activities and partnerships

The Future of GWC

Global Wildfire Collective - Latin America and the Caribbean

The Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) region requires additional financial and technical capacity to enable local communities, fire departments, and government agencies to establish adequate wildfire prevention and resilience responses. In partnership with the Academia Nationale de Bomberos de Colombia, the Global Wildfire Collective-LAC (GWC-LAC), is building out capacity to provide wildfire science and management strategies to increase LAC regional resources and expertise. GWC-LAC combines cutting-edge wildfire and conservation research and education with state-of-the-art management and operations. It will also empower national policymakers and local communities to increase their climatic and ecological resilience to wildfire and facilitate wildfire recovery.

Global Wildfire Collective Academy

The GWC Academy will offer master classes, curated materials, and geospatial maps/data to local leaders, learners, and land owners. The program leverages CBI’s domain expertise in wildfire science, ecology, & conservation, and the work of global change research scientist, Dr. Alexandra Syphard & other CBI experts. The Wildfire Academy is under development and targeted for 2025. We are actively seeking sponsors for the program, if interested and for other inquiries, please email us at marketing@consbio.org.
