The fires in the Serra do Mar have been extinguished, but the region remains on alert for the possibility of new forest fires, according to the corporation’s Fire Risk Map.
Closed parks
The government of São Paulo has closed 80 conservation units due to forest fires in the state. The announcement was made this Sunday (1).
The Forestry Foundation, an agency linked to the Secretariat of Environment, Infrastructure and Logistics (Semil), decreed the emergency closure of parks in the metropolitan region and in the interior of São Paulo.
According to the ministry, the decision was taken in response to the growing risk of forest fires, which endangers both visitors and conservation areas. The measure is valid until September 12.
