Forest fires and society in a changing environment.

Forest fires are an environmental problem in which many factors influence, but they also represent a natural process in many ecosystems and an evolutionary opportunity. The ecological problem of forest fires arises when the balance between what is considered “natural” and sustainable is broken. From the Environmental Psychology we propose as a latent risk that can compromise the socio-economic development of future generations. The Iberian Peninsula leads the worst records in Europe. The current fire regime is likely to change due to its relation to the climate, but this does not generate or generate a greater number of these, although it may provide conditions that facilitate more virulent and large fire scenarios. The human being is the main detonator of forest fires. The real “change” has to focus on a necessary change of thought and attitude at all levels.
