On #EarthDay, we celebrate the unique environment and biodiversity of our beautiful Islands. 🇫🇰 The Falklands are home to: 🐧 1 million breeding penguins 🐦 70% of the world's Black-Browed Albatross 🌱 40 National Nature Reserves 🐳 25 species of whale and dolphin
@WildfireTacAd Impressive picture. I have been working on peat fires since 2010 (including ones in Indonesia) and can say that yours looks really serious.
@WildfireTacAd @essexforester I worked on peat fires in Russia and Indonesia. Your video is impre@uve and gives the new perspective. Peat fires could be relatively easily suppressed in early stsge, becomes a real disaster if griw, and has the ability to survive rains and snow.
We have now delivered the last @LantraUK accredited course in Stanley for this trip. It was a Wildfire Management Plan course with 12 landowners. The course includes wildfire management planning, Wildfire Risk assessment and the creation of a Wildfire Response Plan@essexforester
Today is the day! Join #SILVANUSProject in the fight against extreme #wildfire!🤝 SILVANUS app provides #citizens with tools and guidelines how to protect their wellbeing, their community and environment against extreme #wildfire. 🔥 Download here: play.google.com/store/apps/det…
Today we delivered a Wildfire Management Plan training course in Fox Bay, West Falkland. We had a walk around the village looking at wildfire hazards then spent the day writing these into a Wildfire Management Plan. The training is provided by @ForestryComm. @essexforester
It's not all work in the Falklands. After training we made use of the evening to see the landscape and wildlife. The Falklands are an amazing place with incredible wildlife. My colleague Dean, saw his first Penguins today! We also found Teberries to have with our dinner!
An excellent day in Fox Bay, West Falklands. We ran a Vegetation Fire Operators course with Land Managers. We were able to use live fire to support the theory input over the past days. The training is provided by the Forestry Commission with equipment funded by Darwin Plus Local
We have successfully delivered 3 @LantraUK accredited Vegetation Fire courses over the past 2 days in Fox Bay, West Falkland. The candidates are land mangers and the training has been funded by Darwin Plus and delivered on behalf of @ForestryComm by WildfireTaC. @essexforester
We have just completed our first full day on the Falklands. We have been preparing paperwork and kit ready to deliver our first Vegetation Fire course in Fox Bay on behalf of @ForestryComm. We are looking forward to sharing knowledge and skills. @essexforester
Landed back in the Falklands again this afternoon. Good weather but the brisk wind makes it feel a little fresh. The work starts at 08:00 tomorrow and looking forward to getting stuck in.

A really enjoyable evening discussing UK wildfire and #TheGreatFuelMoistureSurvey with @birminghamalum
@WildfireTacAd @LantraUK @essexforester Me too. Now). It is always interesting to learn about wildland firefighting in other countries. I worked with fires since 2010 mainly grass fires and peat fires, and right now try to learn how it goes in UK.
So happy to see the Falklands becoming more fire resilient!
Our last full day in the Falkland Islands and time to reflect. We have trained 28 people and issued 67 @LantraUK accredited certificates; 27 Vegetation Fire Foundation, 20 Vegetation Fire Operators, 15 Wildfire Management Plan and 5 Prescribed Fire Manager. @essexforester
@WildfireTacAd @LantraUK @essexforester You have been busy boys ,time to come home for a rest ,safe journey home
@WildfireTacAd @LantraUK @essexforester Great work you do. Reminds me what I was doing in my country before the war. Nice to see blowers - we used them a lot against grass fires.
@WildfireTacAd @essexforester @ImperialHazelab This is brilliant!
@WildfireTacAd @GuillermoRein @essexforester @ImperialHazelab Andy, be careful about plant health regulations. It may not be possible.
@WildfireTacAd @essexforester This case study will be very important. Peat fires are growing and underestimated threat. They get less public attention. I'd be very interested to read your case study.
@WildfireTacAd @essexforester @ImperialHazelab Great! Sorry for the late notice. Any peat from Falklands would do, but samples from tbe burning site or tbe fibrous one would be even more interesting.
@WildfireTacAd @essexforester @ImperialHazelab Yes, samples can be dried if that makes it easier for you. Weight would be reduced substantially by drying. I know it is a complex procedure to fly them out and in… Bring whatever you can. For reference, our reactor is 20x20x10 cm. 3 samples or more would be ideal.
@WildfireTacAd @essexforester Is there any observation paper on this fire. It would be good to learn about size, depth, duration, suppression applied.
@WildfireTacAd @essexforester Thanks for sharing your experience. There is little in the technical literature on Falkland pear fires, and this peat is highly fibrous. We can learn so much from this. If you can bring samples back to England, I am happy to offer our smouldering lab @ImperialHazelab
@WildfireTacAd @LantraUK @ForestryComm Congratulations @WildfireTacAd on excellent delivery!
Wishing the very best to two Falkland Islanders, Sarah and Nadia, who are running in today’s London Marathon! 🇫🇰 They have travelled from the Islands to take part in the Marathon and are raising funds for a wonderful cause in @Blisscharity. 👏 #LondonMarathon
@WildfireTacAd Impressive picture. I have been working on peat fires since 2010 (including ones in Indonesia) and can say that yours looks really serious.
@WildfireTacAd @essexforester I worked on peat fires in Russia and Indonesia. Your video is impre@uve and gives the new perspective. Peat fires could be relatively easily suppressed in early stsge, becomes a real disaster if griw, and has the ability to survive rains and snow.
Smouldering peat in the South Atlantic.
In an attempt to gain a better understanding of the wildfire challenges here on the Falklands, we visited a fire that has been burning for several weeks. We tried out a few techniques to suppress fires smouldering in deep tussac peat. @essexforester
@WildfireTacAd Dig to mineral earth brings on a whole new meaning.
