Indigenous knowledge and cultural practices need to be honoured and adopted if we are to continue to keep our planet healthy and habitable.
You’re telling me they aren’t doing that already?
Who would’ve ever guessed this thing we’ve known about since *before agriculture was born
We hardly ever do prescribed burns though.

Because lightning exists, you are going to have brushfires in California. You can either choose a controlled burn on the date with the conditions you decide on, or you can wait until nature starts aa huge fire when the conditions are the absolute worst.
This is especially significant because one of the major objections to more prescribed burns is the smoke pollution they cause.
