Travel Cancellation: Neither the Association for Fire Ecology or the Pau Costa Foundation are responsible for participants’ travel-related costs.

In addition, please consider a trip insurance plan that allows “cancellation for any reason” as many standard insurance plans will not cover changes related to coronavirus.
