Our Future with Fire - Barriers and Opportunities for the Revitalization of Fire Stewardship

This webinar highlights the urgent need to shift from aggressive fire suppression in British Columbia to a paradigm that embraces controlled fire and Indigenous fire stewardship. The webinar argues that fire exclusion has created a wildfire deficit disorder, resulting in massive fuel accumulation and increasingly severe, unsuppressable fire events. A core theme is the critical importance of recognizing and integrating the deep expertise of Indigenous practitioners, whose knowledge of cultural burning is often overlooked in favor of expensive and less effective suppression tactics.
