Forests need small fires to ‘clean’ themselves - but since most of our Forests no longer are in a natural condition fires sometimes get totally out of hand. Climate change and extreme weather increases the disastrous effects even further.

Another problem is that we humans have intervened before the fires in a bad way and do so after the big barbecue. Instead of supporting nature to rebuild itself - we use the new ‘free space’ for property development or farming.

Not good.
