The USDA Forest Service and Hispanic Communications Network-La Red Hispana (HCN) are joining forces to launch a series of Spanish-language radio programs with information and recommendations on how to protect our forests and green open spaces. <\/p>\n<p>The radio programs direct listeners to the USDA Forest Service website <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bosque.gov\/hcn\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">www.Bosque.gov\/HCN<\/a>, which gives the Spanish-speaking public general resources on the importance of getting involved in protecting our forests, and how to prevent wildfires. <\/p>\n<p>Wildfires can threaten entire communities. They endanger our natural, economic and cultural resources. <\/p>\n<p>Every year in <span class=\"xn-location\">the United States<\/span>, an average of 62,000 human caused wildfires burn approximately 2.4 million acres. Most of these begin as unattended or abandoned campfires. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Our Hispanic communities have a natural inclination to care about the environment, but sometimes don&#8217;t know how to make an actual difference. We want to inform and create action toward forest protection and wildfire prevention,&#8221; said <span class=\"xn-person\">Alison Rodden<\/span>, CEO of Hispanic Communications Network. <\/p>\n<p>In dry areas, such as <span class=\"xn-location\">Arizona<\/span> and <span class=\"xn-location\">New Mexico<\/span>, summer temperatures can cause an environment more frequently susceptible to wildfires. <\/p>\n<p>The campaign informs the public that seemingly simple actions can cause major fires in forests:<\/p>\n<ul type=\"disc\">\n<li>Lit cigarettes thrown from a vehicle or thrown to the ground <\/li>\n<li>Campfires and barbecues not completely doused <\/li>\n<li>Leftover charcoal and dry wood used to light a grill <\/li>\n<li>Equipment-caused accidental fires <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Preventive measures must be kept in mind at all times. Dry, windy day conditions can cause a fire to spread quickly. <\/p>\n<p>To learn more about how to protect our forests and help prevent forest fires, please visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bosque.gov\/hcn\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">www.Bosque.gov\/HCN<\/a>.
