Abstract
Fiftteen years of pastoral fires management : from mental block to consultation. Management of pastures by the use of fire is a common practice in the Pyrenees, linked to moorlands vegetation dynamics. Fallow lands spreading and changes in land use are increasing difficulties for the traditional burning practice. This evolution provoked during the last 15 years the creation of local prescribed burning commitées, to improve the use of fire, decrease the risks and conciliate the various land uses. The evolution of fire practices emphazises the mountain management problems : fallow lands and maintenance of livestock farming, tourism development, management of landscape, woodlands and ecological resources, etc.
