Fire is a disturbance that affects organisms in different ways, depending on the spatial and temporal scale. Regarding amphibians, fire can affect them by killing individuals or altering the stability of their development.

The project entitled How fires affect tadpoles in a Brazilian protected area?
will be carried out in the Chapada Diamantina National Park (CDNP), a 152,400 ha strictly protected area located in the state of Bahia, Brazil. The CDNP was created in 1985 to ensure the preservation of natural resources, provide education, scientific research, ecotourism and contribute to the preservation of sites and structures of historical and cultural interest, in particular archaeological sites. In fact, the CDNP comprises one of the most fascinating natural parks of Brazil, with the mountain scenery containing an extraordinary variety of ecosystems, including the Brazilian savanna, Atlantic Forest, Caatinga. Rupestrian Fields, and some enclaves with deciduous and semideciduous formations associated with Atlantic Forest. As a result, a vast amount of biodiversity is recorded inside the park, including a great number of endemics, rare and threatened species. Unfortunately, the CDNP is one of the regions most affected by fires in Bahia, and they are predominantly started by farmers, hunters, miners, ranchers, and tourists, among others.
