A study of purple-crowned fairy-wrens offers lessons for fire management along waterways in tropical savanna ecosystems.
Building a culture where fire is respected rather than feared is essential to maintain resilient landscapes.
Red tingle forests in south-western Australia have the lowest fire risk when they’ve not been subjected to prescribed burning. New research explains why
A new paper explores how a carefully controlled fuel reduction burn killed 17 critically endangered western ringtail possums.
Dry, windy conditions have fueled destructive wildfires in Texas, Florida and other states in 2022. Understanding these terms can help people in fire-risk areas prepare.
Wildfires aren’t always wild. Many of the most expensive and damaging fires happen in suburban areas, and nearly all blazes in these zones are started by humans.
New research has found the window of opportunity for hazard reduction burns won’t actually get smaller, but instead change seasons.

This summer’s bushfires have sparked a fiery debate about hazard-reduction burning. Scientists are still debating whether it really helps prevent bushfires – here’s why.
Evidence shows Native Americans in New England lived lightly on the land for thousands of years. It wasn’t until Europeans arrived that the landscape experienced major human impacts.
