Brigadistas (civilian wildland firefighters) from the Kadiwéu Indigenous people during prescribed burning operations in their territory. The image shows field-based coordination in a managed fire environment, with attention to vegetation conditions and fire behaviour as part of planned ignition activities. These operations are carried out under controlled conditions and support fuel reduction, ecosystem maintenance, and the prevention of uncontrolled wildfires in fire-prone landscapes.
