A common sense report from @raincoast.org . We know these things about wildfire and its impacts. Why don't we act on them?
"Decades of industrial logging and fire suppression are pushing British Columbia’s forests past a tipping point, increasing the risk of catastrophic wildfires and undermining the recovery of wild salmon, a new report has found." 🌏 www.biv.com/news/resourc...
B.C. must spend more to prevent rising wildfire costs, watershed damage, find reports
One new report suggests large-scale prescribed burning could protect B.C.'s freshwater and salmon populations
