"The immense blazes that roared through much of the country are, in part, due to a legacy of poor #ForestManagement. The #LoggingIndustry has long prized #conifers and has gradually reshaped the landscape with lucrative – but highly #combustible – trees. Decades of #FireSuppression, as well as a shift away from prescribed burns practiced by Indigenous communities, has left much of the forest floor littered with flammable deadfall."
