In 2025, the State Government of Mexico reported a significant 52% reduction in areas affected by forest fires, achieved by implementing permanent surveillance, raising awareness among the population, and launching an effective campaign warning that 'whoever ignites pays'. This proactive approach has been essential in combating the human causes of forest fires, which account for more than 90% of incidents in the region, primarily due to uncontrolled agricultural burns, land clearing, campfires, and cigarette butts as noted by the state Civil Protection Coordination.

To sustain this downward trend in forest fires, the government is preparing various preventive measures, including the establishment of 900 kilometers of firebreaks, over 200 kilometers of black lines (fire control lines), and more than 160 training courses for staff involved in fire management. Additionally, they will maintain 12 kilometers of roads and carry out other essential tasks such as clearing vegetation and pruning in various areas, all aimed at optimizing the response to potential forest fire occurrences.

The State Government also urges the population to actively participate by reporting any suspicious activities that could lead to fires, thereby fostering an engaged community around fire prevention. Such measures not only help in significantly reducing the risk of forest fires but also promote a sense of responsibility and stewardship towards the environment within the local population.
