A holistic understanding of each region’s unique fire-influencing variables is critical for developing comprehensive strategies for effective fire management and long-term co-existence with fire.

Insights into how fire interacts with biological systems and impacts biodiversity and ecosystem function are crucial for developing fire management strategies that are best aligned with ecological processes and provide maximum benefits for people and nature.

The most effective preparedness efforts involve an interdisciplinary set of “before”, “during”, and “after” actions carried out by community members, fire practitioners, firefighters, policymakers, conservation planners, and developers that are informed by the scientific and Indigenous knowledge of the regional context.

Discussions to help ensure that wildfire preparation, recovery strategies and policy interventions are appropriately, equitably, and effectively designed.
