Eden: People+Planet

Eden Honduras' foresters have extensive training and experience in fire prevention and wildfire fighting. Our teams also receive annual training in prevention and emergency first aid - covering skills to effectively prevent and combat low intensity wildfires.

Eden contributes to Honduras’ early warning systems and uses resources like NASA satellite data. Critical information on fire locations, intensity, and wind patterns is essential for making informed decisions. 📡.

Our team collaborates with local authorities, other environmental organizations, and the local community to coordinate firefighting efforts, improving overall response and fire management effectiveness.

Our progress in mitigating fires is attributed to our team's experience, months of fire prevention before the peak wildfire season even begins and commitment throughout the fire season. We are grateful for our fire team that is dedicated to the preservation for people + the planet! 🌎

Honduras experienced a challenging fire season this year, with fire outbreaks throughout the country. This is how we worked with local communities to prevent damage and restore the beautiful landscape.

🌳 Our fire management activities are protecting trees we have planted since the launch in Honduras in 2020.

🦜 Our work protects habitats that allow animals to seek refuge during fires.

💧 The extreme heat (40+ degrees Celsius, 104+ degrees Fahrenheit) during the dry season directly impacts water sources in the towns of Honduras. By protecting the forests, we are helping prevent major water scarcity issues for the communities.

As the next fire season approaches, we need your support in continuing to restore and conserve the Honduras landscape. Join us in making long-term impact for the local communities and habitats. 🔥

Honduras experienced an intense fire season earlier this year. 294,000 hectares of land were affected by the fires – that’s the size of 550,000+ professional U.S. football stadiums.

The fires caused extreme temperatures and smoke in populated areas, which led to health warnings, evacuations, habitat loss and damage throughout surrounding communities.

Here’s what we did to help:

🔥 We worked with local communities and authorities to ensure effective fire training and firefighting to protect over 11,000 hectares of old-growth and new-growth forests.

🔥 Over 100 km of firebreaks were created, which decreased the spread of wildfire and protected countless trees.

🔥 We directly put out 54 wildfires in our conservation areas with the help of the Honduras community,

Our team will continue to monitor the fire damage and recovery. Creating active restoration plans to help with recovery where needed.

We are dedicated to expanding our fire prevention programs for the next fire season. Our work will continue protecting forests, watersheds, wildlife habitat, and the communities that depend on this ecosystem. 🌎

Although fires are natural in ecosystems, climate change, unpredictable weather, and unsustainable practices have made them more damaging and frequent. 🔥

This is an ongoing challenge for our restoration efforts, as fires contribute to landscape degradation and affect an entire regions’ access to vital resources, pollute the air, and threaten biodiversity.

We collaborate with local communities on fire preventative measures and provide training on the safest and most effective firefighting practices. Our goal is to ensure the safest mitigation strategies for both people+planet.

Together, we are making a profound impact on holistic restoration, preventing and combating the effects of climate change and wildfires.
