“…Thus, as outlined in the Introduction based on Delgado et al (2019), communication plays a key part in equitable FG, including strategies that consider the cultural context and local terminologies (Carmenta et al, 2013;Martínez-Torres et al, 2018). Predominant approaches of governments to fire management are still far away from these aims (Dressler et al, 2021;Eufemia et al, 2022;Mistry et al, 2016;Monz on-Alvarado & Keys, 2017;Smith & Dressler, 2020), although there are some examples of good practices and promising advances (Bilbao et al, 2019;Eloy et al, 2018;Mistry et al, 2019).…”

Fire is a highly relevant governance challenge in the tropics: altered fire regimes, among other phenomena, threaten the persistence of various ecosystems. Fire is also widely used by smallholders. Yet, wildfires can put people's livelihoods in danger through direct damages and by impoverishing ecosystem services. Conventional approaches have sought to suppress any type of fire in the landscape. However, since the late twentieth century, researchers and practitioners have recognized the benefits of strategic fire use and, in some cases, of local fire use traditions. In many tropical areas, the coexistence and interaction of the conventional (‘suppression‐only’) approach, integrated approaches, and communities’ traditional ways of using fire, create a complex network of actors with different interests and outlooks. The ways these actors make decisions and interact can be summed up under the notion of fire governance. There is a growing body of literature dealing with this kind of situations, although they do not always mention the term governance. This paper thematically analyses 38 studies in this field, showing that research has been scattered and often addresses the issue partially, leaving out key aspects of environmental governance. Based on this analysis, the paper proposes a more connected and holistic research agenda.

“…National public policies need to be reviewed, reformulated and made consistent [55]. While some Bolivian laws guarantee forest conservation (Forestry Law 1700), others encourage forest destruction (Law 1171, Law 741) [22,56]. On several occasions, amnesty laws (e.g., Law 337) have been enacted to pardon illegal deforestation [21,22,57].…”

Despite more than two decades of efforts made to prevent the loss of the Chiquitano Dry Forest on the Bolivian side, deforestation and forest fragmentation driven by agricultural expansion, uncontrolled settlement and forest fires have continued putting its ecological integrity at high risk. Currently, this unique forest is severely vulnerable and under considerable pressure, which should generate worldwide attention and concern, considering its importance in terms of biodiversity and climate. In this opinion piece, we address the approach of policies and social actions to reverse the situation using the experiences of locals.
