Wildfires of war in Ukraine
War reshapes wildfire regimes both directly and indirectly, yet its impacts remain largely overlooked. Russia’s invasion into Ukraine has significantly increased wildfire activity, while displacement, land abandonment, contamination with unexploded ordnance, and collapse of fire management have increased fuel loads, making fires harder to control. Zooming in on Ukraine, we discuss how war and armed conflict reshapes wildfire regimes, with impacts…
In this current wildfire crisis, acknowledge widespread suffering
With climate change causing more extreme weather events globally, climate scientists have argued that societies have three options: mitigation, adaptation or suffering. In recent years, devastating wildfires have caused significant suffering, yet the extent of this suffering has not been defined. To encapsulate this suffering, we determined impacts and effects of extreme wildfires through two systematic literature reviews. Six common themes of wi…
Connecting wildfire risk reduction and land stewardship
Wildfire management is becoming an increasingly complex issue that requires collaboration of diverse sectors. In addition, it is important to empower local communities to contribute to the decision-making processes. Social learning (individuals changing their understanding of an issue and furthering relationships) is a key ingredient in transdisciplinary collaborations aiming at complex social-ecological systems change. However, few studies in wi…
Using Focus Groups for Knowledge Sharing
In early 2020 the US Forest Service (USFS) recognized the need to gather real-time information from its wildland fire management personnel about their challenges and adaptations during the unfolding COVID-19 pandemic. The USFS conducted 194 virtual focus groups to address these concerns, over 32 weeks from March 2020 to October 2020. This management effort provided an opportunity for an innovative practice-based research study. Here, we outline a…
In temperate Europe, fire is already here
Landscape fires are usually not associated with temperate Europe, yet not all temperate countries record statistics indicating that actual risks remain unknown. Here we introduce new wildfire statistics for The Netherlands, and summarize significant events and fatalities. The period 2017–2022 saw 611 wildfires and 405 ha burned per year, which Copernicus’ European Forest Fire Information System satellite data vastly underestimate. Fires burned mo…
Uplifting local ecological knowledge as part of adaptation pathways to wildfire risk reduction
Living with wildfires in an era of climate change requires adaptation and weaving together many forms of knowledge. Empirical evidence of knowledge co-production in wildfire management is lacking in Mediterranean European areas. We explored how local ecological knowledge can be leveraged to reduce wildfire risk through an adaptation pathways process in the Montseny massif and wider Tordera River watershed of Catalonia, Spain: an area stewarded th…
A global outlook on increasing wildfire risk
to understand how wildfire risk policies are designed to mitigate1 the impacts of wildfires. Wildfires are a growing threat in many parts of the world, posing significant risks to human life, and the environment. In recent years, wildfires have increased, driven largely by climate change, human activity, and changes in land-use patterns. Wildfire risk adaptation and mitigation measures vary widely between countries and regions around the world. T…
What is a fire resilient landscape? Towards an integrated definition
The concept of fire resilience has become increasingly relevant as society looks to understand and respond to recent wildfire events. In particular, the idea of a ‘fire resilient landscape’ is one which has been utilised to explore how society can coexist with wildfires. However, the concept of fire resilient landscapes has often been approached in silos, either from an environmental or social perspective; no integrated definition exists. Based o…
