I envision forest management practices that are based on ecological considerations rather than economic ones. I believe everyone has the right to clean air and protection from fire, without needing to be far removed from nature. Human activity has greatly altered the frequency and severity of unavoidable fires (take it from the experts: USDA, C2ES). With more active forest monitoring and controlled burns to create fire breaks, we could contain extreme wildfires without excessively interfering with natural processes and ecosystems.

Hello Sumat! Thank you for sharing this informative post. I agree with you that it would be nice if we could think up solutions to benefit and focus on the environment rather than the economy. It would also be good if we could act sooner rather than later :')
that's an awesome hook line! and I totally agree, we need to be active and hands on in controlling forest fires.
Thank you for this post Sumant! I love how concise you are and the addition of resources to the back up these comments!
I also agree that forest management revolves around an economic aspect. Also thank you for providing these links, I particularly enjoyed reading the bark beetle article :)
Hi Sumant,
Nicely said! I agree - economic considerations get in the way of many decisions and it is time we start prioritizing the environment!
Great to link to these resources, Sumant! Nice and concise!
Hi Sumant, I also agree that the management of forests should be primarily based on the ecological perspectives rather than economic ones in order to better protect the environment.
Hello Sumant, I think you raise a lot of important points especially about how forest managements focus heavily on economic aspects.
Yes the better monitoring of fires would be really useful in the management of wildfires
