- Abstract
At the beginning of 2015 huge forests fires took place at the south of Argentina (especially in the provinces of Chubut and Neuquén). Due to the importance of this fact, the purpose of this paper is to make a comparative analysis of the present regulations about forests fires management in Argentina and in Uruguay, in order to state strengths and weaknesses. In the first place and in the case of Argentina, we will analyse the text of the Enviromental Protection National Act n° 26.815, 2013, and which will make us focus on a recent and necessary study due to the inexistence of case law up to now, and also of a few existing scientific papers which study this subject. Also we will analyze the importance of social, economic and environmental impacts on forests and on their ecosystem services. In the second place, the legal situation of Uruguay is different to the previous case because there isn't an specific act which regulates management and prevention of fire forests, because its main guidelines are mentioned at Forest Act n° 15.939, 1988. Notwithstanding, the present issue was partially regulated through the enactment of Decree n° 849/88 (which was slightly modified by Decree n° 188/02), and by Decree n° 111/89 about preven- tion and fighting of forests fires, where it is stated that also fire police regulations enacted by the National Executive power must be fulfilled.
