We are back!!

Posted on July 16, 2023

Daveschile went defunct, but not Dave, so he’s back with daveschilelives.com. Bear with me as I get started. I’m trying a different approach, so stay tuned.
Regards, Dave

    David,

    Muito realista, e alarmante teu relatório dos recorrentes incêndios.
    Infelizmente, por falta de planejamento e controle, e treinamento, estes incêndios quando ocorrem são devastadores.
    Levam à destruicao de patrimônios, destruição de vidas, retardam o futuro.
    O triste que pouco se aprende de ano a ano.

    Se a ocorrência se repete ano a ano, melhor elevar o assunto a um nível de política nacional, de prevenção e de proteção.

    Saludos fortes de Brasil,

      Amigo Valentin,
      You are absolutelly right. More attention to forest management in context of climate change related fire, and better preparation of homes and villages bordering forested areas, are two areas of public policy requiring significant updating. Un abrazo. DJ
