Investigating the use of Prescribed Grazing: a Nature-based solution in fire-fighting management

The seminar by Anna Giulia Castaldo presents the on-going Ph.D. research exploring the application of Nature-based solutions (NBS) in fire-fighting management. Wildfires events are affected by a multitude of different factors, whereby strategies acting transversally on them are required. Prescribed Grazing practice is introduced as an NBS strategy mitigating wildfire risk and supporting an increase of social interest – through engagement of stakeholders and local communities – in protecting forestry resources. The criteria for selecting sustainable practices, the investigation methodology will be presented. The invited discussants will react to the research project with multidisciplinary perspectives, covering forestry management, climate change impact, disaster risk reduction and urban planning.
