Effectiveness of Protected Areas in Mitigating Fire within Their Boundaries: Case Study of Chiapas, Mexico
Article Abstract:
Tropical protected areas in Chaipas, Mexico, are found to be susceptible to fire, and do not mitigate fire impacts. Factors include sensitivity of protected areas to droughts caused by El Nino, anthropogenic causes of fires, large fuel loads, fuel continuity, and limited financial resources.
