Descuido humano, principal causa de los incendios forestales: Probosque



El descuido humano se erige como la principal causa de los incendios forestales, según informa la Protectora de Bosques del Estado de México (Probosque).

Entre las causas están: quemas agrícolas no controladas, arrojar colillas de cigarro sobre pastizales, no apagar fogatas y el uso de pirotecnia en zonas forestales cercanas. (Foto: Especial)

Estas tragedias ambientales suelen desatarse por acciones como quemas agrícolas no controladas, el arrojo de colillas de cigarro sobre pastizales, el abandono de fogatas sin apagar y el uso de pirotecnia en zonas cercanas a los bosques, entre otros factores.

Para hacer frente a esta problemática, Probosque ha implementado un Semáforo de Riesgo de Incendios Forestales, una herramienta crucial que permite monitorear el avance de las brigadas en el combate de los incendios. Este sistema se compone de tres colores: rojo, amarillo y verde, que indican distintas fases del proceso de control y liquidación del fuego.

Alejandro Sánchez Vélez, Director General de Probosque, resalta la importancia de este semáforo para la ciudadanía, explicando que el color rojo señala la presencia de fuego activo, el amarillo indica una fase de combate y control, mientras que el verde representa la liquidación completa del incendio.

Durante la temporada de estiaje de 2024, el Estado de México ha enfrentado un total de 624 incendios forestales, que han devastado 15,590 hectáreas de terreno. La mayoría de estas afectaciones, un 90 por ciento, corresponden a pastizales y arbustos, mientras que 223 hectáreas afectadas son de arbolado adulto y mil 315 de áreas de renuevo.

Miguel Ángel Romero Morales, Delegado Regional Forestal en Coatepec Harinas de Probosque, destaca que si bien factores climáticos como el aumento de temperatura y la sequía prolongada pueden contribuir a la propagación de incendios, el descuido humano sigue siendo la causa principal. Esto incluye actividades agrícolas y pecuarias, así como el uso imprudente de pirotecnia en festividades religiosas y recreativas.

Durante el año en curso, la mitad de los incendios forestales en el Estado de México se han concentrado en 10 municipios: Ixtapaluca, Ocuilan, Nicolás Romero, Villa del Carbón, Villa Victoria, Acambay, Zinacantepec, Valle de Bravo, Tenancingo y Lerma, lo que resalta la necesidad de intensificar las medidas de prevención y concienciación en estas áreas vulnerables.
