The Gavarres Consortium has demanded that the Generalitat establish fixed and structural resources to guarantee the maintenance of the massif and the prevention of forest fires.

The entity has pointed out that the current prevention plan, in force since 2005, has not been fully implemented due to reliance on temporary subsidies. This situation forces them to resort to contributions from municipalities, private owners, and forest defense entities to cover conservation tasks.
The Consortium's management has highlighted the need to reduce bureaucratic burdens and ensure constant economic funding. As they have indicated, current management allows Firefighters access to the interior of the natural space, but it is insufficient to keep tracks and safety strips in optimal conditions.
The officials' concern is now focused on the ecological impact on the burned areas, which include cork oaks, holm oaks, and oaks of great environmental value. Once the fire is stabilized, the goal will be to delimit the affected perimeter to plan for wood removal and ecosystem recovery.
