Today, in many parts of the world, human burning practices have been nearly extinguished and natural fires systematically suppressed, according to the notion that they damage nature. And it’s true, fire kills—certain trees and many organisms die in a fire. But fire also fosters ecology. I learned only recently that natural fires are not only completely normal, but moreover augment and revive ecological diversity—natural fire and ecological sustainability do not contradict each other.
