NEW EPISODE of #FireEcology Chats 🔥🎙️ including Spanish translations! Bob Keane joins Paola Arroyo-Vargas and Andrés Holz to discuss how forest structures in Chile regenerate after short-interval severe fire. #SNFECO 🌱 Listen here/escucha aquí: fireecology.org/feco-podcast...

For #wildfire -interested folks: The 1st international conference dedicated to identifying, understanding, and preventing fire ignitions is now open for registration and abstract submission. Bonus: It is being held in the beautiful city of Porto, Portugal. wic25.eu

An Earth Day publication: iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1... - Source of ignition is a major driver of fire activity, along w/ housing and climate; and trends differ by source over time & across regions. Ignitions deserve more attention, especially on red flag days. #wildfire #pyrogeography

With the world going mad, I decided to escape with my camera to the streets of #OB. #streetphotography #dogtography

During the week of the #LAfires, a flock of parrots noisily announced their visit every morning - to come eat nuts off the neighbors' tree. They were only here during that week. It was surreal, because the only things I could think about were parrots and fire. And fire and parrots. #birdphotography

An area bigger than France will be protected in the Democratic Republic of Congo. As long as countries takes that kind of responsability towards the climate and towards several endangered species, there's also hope for the future generations of humanity👨‍👩‍👦🌍 #environment www.weforum.org/stories/2025...

For those of us worried about too-frequent #wildfire in #chaparral, and our other fire-sensitive species, this is all so concerning, especially as fires sweep through the land of the iconic #TecateCypress. app.watchduty.org

It's time to start having difficult conversations, and this article skillfully lays out the multiple perspectives of #rebuilding after the #LAFires. My two thoughts: 1) Fire-safe & affordable housing should be part of the same conversation; 2) Oaks not eucs. www.latimes.com/california/s...

Fire Risk To Homes Where Cities And Wildlands Meet

About a third of US homes are in a wildland-urban interface, a kind of high-risk area where development meets open land.

Jon Keeley, senior research scientist for US Geological Survey, said the rare combination of circumstances behind the LA wildfires made widespread destruction unpreventable. “When you have winds, the velocity of these winds, all bets are off in terms of what you can do." www.cnn.com/2025/01/10/u...

Widespread destruction from the L.A. fires was inevitable, given the drought and winds. Still, the region could have been better prepared.

I finally joined so I can follow discussion on #wildfire and #ecology; but hopefully more... #wildlifephotography #jazzbluesguitar
