Fire suppression makes wildfires more severe and accentuates impacts of climate change and fuel accumulation - "Managing wildfires to safely burn under low and moderate conditions is thus a critical tool to address the growing wildfire crisis."

Brilliant - we need more of this!
The differences between severe wildfire and cultural burns are often overlooked by the public and many ecologists.

Southern Yuin crew led a fauna monitoring workshop in the Biamanga cultural landscape impacted by the recent Coolagolite wildfire. Trail cameras allow us to understand how native fauna respond to high-intensity wildfires compared to #culturalburns. 🔥 Support from @nswenviromedia

Super important new paper on fate of #savannas after agricultural disturbance. Not good news.
⭐️New Pub!⭐️In our new #OpenAccess paper in @BritishEcolSoc @JEcology, we show that agricultural conversion & afforestation of old-growth savannas in India destroy & degrade native plant communities that do not spontaneously recover on fallowed land. besjournals.onlinelibrary.wi… 1/n

Government agencies are overwhelmed by... a plan to treat 400,000ac/yr with beneficial fire ... If we can get buy-in from landowners, organizations and local communities around Indigenous knowledge and expertise of fire, that’s where we’ll see scaling up universityofcalifornia.edu/n…

@NWFireScience is excited to announce a new synthesis: Indigenous Fire Stewardship For Fire Mgmt & Ecol Restoration In PNW. It's a systemic review of themes in this literature including social, ecol & policy aspects of IFS + a 66-article annotated biblio.

Interested in how fire affects biodiversity? 🔥🐦🦇🐝🌿
We have a new paper synthesizing work and building a framework for future research and application focused on the hypothesis that "Pyrodiversity begets biodiversity"

We got some great national coverage of the epic fires in central Australia onABC @RadioNational this afternoon. A great piece highlighting the both the scale of these fires and in critical role of indigenous rangers in their control.@cdu_ni @IDA_Australia abc.net.au/listen/programs/p…

'Wilderness' is such a problematic concept on a continent where First Nations people have managed country for many thousands of years.
This is an interesting dive into the issue of introducing prescribed fire & cultural burning into wilderness zones.
