TY - BOOK AU - Guérin-Turcq,Arthur TI - Fire and capital: the 2022 forest fires in the Landes de Gascogne PY - 2025///. N1 - 44 N2 - ‪The major fires in the Gironde region in the summer of 2022 highlighted the shortcomings of the Landes de Gascogne forest-management and fire-prevention systems. They highlighted the vulnerability of this maritime pine forest, created under Napoleon III, and now the object of criticism from scientists, ecologists and new residents alike. At issue: its high flammability, low biodiversity and proximity to homes. For their part, foresters are developing surveillance technology, firewall maintenance and subcontracting to cooperatives in a new context of forest financialization.‪ UR - https://shs.cairn.info/journal-etudes-rurales-2024-2-page-90?lang=en&redirect-ssocas=7080 ER -
