               33�2�1  Description

               Use case status: The use case is part of a larger product development

               Embrace the Forest goal is to address the growing threats of wildland fires to communities,
               biodiversity, and the environment by empowering forest fire resilience in wildland territories and
               by activating a holistic, multi-stakeholder approach, adding high-end tools and technologies,
               respecting local knowledge, and cultural and biological diversity.

               UN Goals:

               •    SDG 3: Good Health and Well-being,
               •    SDG 6: Clean Water and Sanitation,
               •    SDG 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth,
               •    SDG 13: Climate Action,
               •    SDG 15: Life on Land

               Justify UN SDG Goals selection: The "Embrace the Forest" project is intricately connected to the
               issue of fire, particularly in the context of forest management and conservation. Fire prevention
               and control are essential components of the project, as wildfires can have devastating impacts
               on ecosystems, human health, and economic development. Here's how the project aligns with
               the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) concerning fire:

               •    SDG 13: Climate Action: Wildfires contribute significantly to carbon emissions,
                    exacerbating climate change. By implementing effective fire management strategies, the
                    "Embrace the Forest" project helps mitigate the impact of fires on the climate, aligning
                    to take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts.
