Abstract

The Serra da Canastra National Park (SCNP) is one of the most threatened Conservation
Unit (CU) in Brazil due to high frequency of criminal fires (arson). The criminal actions of arsonists were
pointed as the main cause. Although prevention actions and direct fight against fire during the burnings
have been applied for years, including the use of prescribed fires to create firebreaks, costs are expensive,
in many situations the results are not as well as expected, and fire can reach large proportions, threatening
biodiversity. Given this problematic, it was created by environmental analysts of this CU in a partnership
with researchers from universities, a project for the development of an Integrated Fire-Management Program,
whose goals were to examine the history of fire in SCNP; monitoring natural fires and anthropogenic (criminal
and prescribed) burnings; integrate the knowledge produced and published by all the researchers who have developed research in SCNP; investigate the response of local biota to the occurrence of fires, and finally,
share the knowledge and involve the human communities in management actions thread. In this paper, we
present a report of the established strategies and procedures followed for the achievement of some goals, and
some commented results, such as the production of a database drawn from literature review on the effects
of fire on wildlife and flora in grassland and savannas of Brazil, the generation of maps and a database of
images during burnings in 2014 and previous years, the development of academic research and activities
with the local population
