During the present forest fire season, the Government of Nayarit, through the Nayarit Forest Commission (COFONAY), is taking preventing actions and is providing citizens with some recommendations to avoid and reduce these incidents.
The number of fires increases during the first semester of the year because of cool weather and low water level, together with other factors such as humidity, high temperatures and accumulation of burning materials on the ground. Given the above mention circumstances, COFONOY is carrying out awareness and prevention campaigns around the 20 municipalities.
Miguel Tello Flores, Director of COFONOY recommends not to light bonfires and to always have in mind that forest fires are incidents that cause major danger to people and constitute a contamination problem. For the rural areas he recommends avoiding burning pasture in their lands, and to drivers, not to throw cigarette butts on streets and highways since these can generate a fire.
The Government of Nayarit is doing preventive work to inspire in our citizens, a culture of prevention, conservation and preservation of our natural recourses.
