Abstract

Los incendios forestales son uno de los mayores problemas ambientales a los que se tiene que enfrentar el sur de Europa, dada la virulencia a la que han llegado en estos últimos años. Ante esta situación, es importante llevar a cabo una valoración económica del alcance, que considere además los costes directos o el impacto sufrido como consecuencia de la pérdida de los servicios ecosistémicos forestales. Este punto es de vital importancia, puesto que dicha estimación ayudará a reclamar una correcta compensación a las comunidades afectadas. También, a su vez, dicha estimación constituye una información útil para la gestión y priorización de acciones de defensa contra incendios. El objetivo de este pequeño artículo es presentar las clasificaciones más relevantes existentes en cuanto a los daños de los servicios ecosistémicos perdidos, destacando las últimas metodologías disponibles y mostrando a través de un caso concreto, la importancia de considerar la valoración económica de este tipo de pérdidas.
