Uruguay Enforces Nationwide Ban on Outdoor Burning

From 1 November 2026 until 30 April 2027, Uruguay implemented its annual nationwide prohibition on outdoor fires and burning to reduce wildfire risks during the warmer months. The measure applies across the country; no dedicated enforcement or prevention budget was announced. The restriction increases demand for fire-risk management, environmental monitoring and agricultural-waste solutions.
