It's really just a shame that we've lived the forest go and manage for so long we're going to have to resort to do anything with like these Burns because they're so overgrown and deadly now

Good. The National Park Service is very good at this burning too and we all can get insights from the Yurok.

Indigenous Australians also have this skill, and we should take advantage, as fire risks rise with climate change.

I trust the ancient cultures

Having lived in the hills of Southern California, I’ve long heard the stories of the Chumash setting fire to their camp just before moving to a new one.
This works great unless you have a $3M house sitting there.

Ah but white men are too afraid to give credit to Indigenous People for always being more levelheaded than whites will ever be. Learn to live with Mother Nature white people, She always has the upper hand

The indigenous people in all landmasses have worked with the land for thousands of years. We should listen to them.

Intelligent stewardship. Respect!

We need to listen to indigenous people more. They know the land better than we could ever hope

That's interesting

Aboriginal Australian traditional practice has involved fire management for many thousands of years too

Unkown by many, the indigenous people burned Yosemite valley for the same reason.

This is what Australia is doing! Gaining the immense knowledge of fire from Aboriginal communities to teaching how to do slow cool burns to protect from huge bush fires 🔥
