This study quantifies part of the short-term or immediate economic losses (excluding the non-use or passive losses) caused by the wildfires in Galicia during 2006. The background of the empirical work is based on the ecosystem service approach that values the services not provided due to the existence of wildfires. The obtained results show that the immediate losses are about 300 millions euros (depending on the scenario of analysis) for the period August-December 2006.
