Community Mobilization for Fire Prevention in the Brazilian Amazon - PROTEGER
The Community Mobilization for Fire Prevention in the Brazilian Amazon - PROTEGER project was founded by the Pilot Program for the Protection of the Tropical Forests of Brazil, with contributions from the USAID and the World Bank, and is a pilot program for the conservation of Brazilian forests. Its goal is to promote the engagement and educational campaigns within the rural communities of the Amazon to raise awareness on the danger of fires, and train them on the prevention of fires and on alternative methods to put out fires.

Mode of Selection of Participants: is the innovation open to all participants, access is restricted to some kind of condition, or both methods apply?
Type of participants: those who participate are individual citizens, civil society organizations, private stakeholders or a combination of those?
Decisiveness: does the innovation takes binding, non-binding or no decision at all?
