Argentina – Por medio de un programa específico del gobierno canadiense, el Ministerio de Defensa de la República Argentina rubricó un memorándum de entendimiento que servirá para analizar y desarrollar, en conjunto, una división aérea de combate contra el fuego, que dependerá específicamente del Plan Nacional de Lucha contra el Fuego.
Recordemos que durante el pasado verano casi dos millones de hectáreas de campo fértil fueron consumidas por incendios catastróficos. Argentina está inmersa ahora en la dotación de aviones apagafuegos, en ese marco, el Ministerio de Defensa, por medio de su secretario de logística, Walter Ceballos, ha anunciado la rúbrica de un acuerdo con especialistas canadienses, que podrían aportar no solo sus conocimientos, sino un par de kits para instalar en aviones cuatrimotores Hércules de la Fuerza Aérea Argentina. De tal modo, la firma Coulson Aviation acordó con el Ministerio de Defensa el establecimiento de un plan anti fuego, que podría resultar en la adquisición de elementos y kits para ser instalados en aeronaves de la Fuerza Aérea

Tropical peat swamp forests, which once occupied large swaths of Southeast Asia and other areas, provided a significant “sink” that helped remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. But such forests have been disappearing fast due to clear-cutting and drainage projects making way for plantations. Now, research shows peatlands face another threat, as climate change alters rainfall patterns, potentially destroying even forested peatlands that remain undrained.
