Anthroecology: A New Synthesis

I loved this graphic-novel-style explainer from @xulinillu on how fires work in forests, how indigenous people have mastered the art of burning, and what we need to do for the next generation: https://thenib.com/prescribed-burn-forest-fires/

I was invited to put this piece together in the Guardian. I am honored to get such an invite, but more so honored to help change the dialogue in support of indigenous Eco-Cultural Revitalization. #EndowActionNow https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2020/sep/16/california-wildfires-cultural-burns-indigenous-people

Whether its California, Oregon, the Pantanal, the Amazon, Argentina, Australia, Siberia, FIRE MANAGEMENT--moving beyond essential emergency measures to manage changing fire regimes across landscapes--must become a higher priority for the scientific community and policy-makers.
