“…In addition, two major COVID-19 outbreaks were identified in June-July and October-November in 2020 (Supporting information), and lockdown policies usually persisted for dozens of days during major COVID-19 outbreaks. Owing to COVID-19 lockdown policies, people were unable to go outside to extinguish wildfires immediately after ignition (Eklund et al 2022), thereby indirectly promoting the spread of wildfires in high mountains to some extent.…”

“…Numerosos focos de origen antrópico permanecieron activos durante semanas, lo que saturó la capacidad de respuesta de los sistemas de combate. En este contexto atípico marcado por la pandemia, implementar medidas sanitarias que restringían la circulación de las personas y actividades de manejo y control en territorio impactó en la ocurrencia de incendios a nivel global (Paudel 2021;Couto-García et al 2021;Poulter et al 2021;Eklund et al 2022).…”

“…En relación con las actividades humanas, en 2020, la pandemia marcó un contexto atípico en el que las medidas sanitarias de aislamiento y distanciamiento social influyeron en la ocurrencia de incendios a nivel global. En Madagascar, la suspensión de actividades de manejo y control en terreno favoreció una mayor ocurrencia de incendios en áreas naturales protegidas (Eklund et al 2022). Por su parte, en el Pantanal brasileño, la sequía extrema y la merma en las tareas de combate por una menor disponibilidad de combatientes resultaron en una temporada récord en cuanto a superficie quemada (Couto-García et al 2021).…”

“…Similarly, coordinated, community-based fire management and awareness raising can be used to help mitigate risk to fire-sensitive forests. On-site management is especially important for fire mitigation, as a study during the COVID 19 pandemic has shown (121). Fire management also presents the opportunity to mitigate the impact of exotic species by targeting the removal of flammable invasives (e.g., Pinus), and guide appropriate tree-planting initiatives to avoid fireprone plantations near areas of particular biological importance.…”
