Forest fires can cause devastating wreckage, and their effects have only been exasperated over the past several years due to climate change. However, fire isn't inherently a bad thing.
I'd love to live in a world where none of our forests ever burn, but that is unfortunately not a reality #UnleashValues Some of our plants have even adapted to become pyrophytic, meaning they tolerate fire and actually need to burn to release their seeds and reproduce.
I'd like to raise awareness about controlled fires, helping to educate people about fire not being our enemy. Controlled fires (or prescribed fires) are necessary to help reduce and control forest fires. Here's an article on prescribed fires that goes into detail about how helpful they can be to our forests, wildlife, and human communities: https://prescribedfire.ca/#:~:text=to%20our%20communities.-,Prescribed%20fire%20is%20the%20planned%20and%20controlled%20application%20of%20fire,risk%20reduction%20for%20protection%20of
Hi Helen - I think its pretty unfortunate as well that we can't live in a world that doesn't have fires especially with plants that actually adapted to these conditions. I agree, controlled fires are the way to fix this problem.
Catchy title and informative links, nicely done!
