On June 5, 2021, John Horning, Executive Director of the WildEarth Guardians, moderated a webinar on the life affirming functions of fire in forests. Also discussed were the problems caused by thinning and post fire logging promoted by the forest service and even subsidized by congressional mandates.
All this while so many of us are waking up to the urgent need to preserve and protect forests – not just for their beauty and complexity – but also for their power to absorb and sequester carbon dioxide and protect us from climate collapse.
Dr. Monica Bond is a wildlife biologist and biodiversity advocate with The Wild Nature Institute.
Dr. Chad Hanson is cofounder of the John Muir Project of Earth Island Institute and author of: Smokescreen – Debunking Wildfire Myths to Save Our Forests and Our Climate.
Thanks to John Horning, Executive Director of the WildEarth Guardians.
