The conference is jointly organised by the Wessex Institute of Technology, UK, and the University of Castilla-La Mancha (Spain) and is sponsored by WIT Transactions on Ecology and the Environment. This conference provides a forum for researchers, academics and stakeholders actively involved in the prevention, detection and suppression of forest fires, and the restoration of burned areas.
