Surveillance towers monitoring the territory 24 hours a day
New Forest Fire Early Warning System
The Government of the Province of Misiones, through the Ministry of Ecology and Renewable Natural Resources, launched in December 2025 the new Forest Fire Early Warning System, with surveillance towers that monitor the territory 24 hours a day, in real time. Thanks to 360° cameras and artificial intelligence, the system immediately detects smoke and activates automatic alerts.
This allows us to act faster and protect your home, production, and our native forest.
In this first stage, the towers are already operating at three strategic points of the Green Corridor: Provincial Park of the Sierra, Yabotí Biosphere Reserve, and Urugua-í Provincial Park.
In addition, we incorporated new equipment, personal protection, and rapid attack units to strengthen the work of firefighters and park rangers.
Prevention is anticipation. Misiones counts on you.
