Resumen

Este artículo intenta arrojar luz sobre los desafíos al uso de los conocimientos indígenas por parte de los pueblos indígenas para reducir el riesgo y mitigar los efectos de los peligros naturales, incluidos los incendios forestales, y llama la atención sobre las formas en que la práctica tradicional, junto con la experiencia contemporánea, pueden ayudar a los pueblos indígenas a reducir la vulnerabilidad en sus comunidades.
