Can #beavers be a fire-mitigation strategy? Read “Impacts of beaver dams on riverscape burn severity during #megafires in the Rockies, western U.S.,” by Dr. Emily Fairfax et al. tinyurl.com/GSA-SPE562 Images: Niklas Hamann, Unsplash & chapter's Fig. 9 #Geology #FireMitigation

Prescribed fires:
🔥Clean up dry undergrowth, preventing megafires.
🌻Boost wildflowers & native plants.
🔥Protect communities from wildfire threats.
🦅Create diverse habitats for wildlife.
♻️ Release nutrients back into the soil.

The Amazon is speeding toward a point of no return scientists say if 20% of the forest is lost, it will set off a domino effect that will cause the whole ecosystem to collapse.
Local communities are crying out for help. 18% of the forest is now gone, & megafires R burning

Forests offer powerful climate solutions. Forest mgmt. is how we deliver them. Managing forests for climate means understanding the role of 🔥 in all its forms: wildfires, catastrophic megafires, and prescribed fires.

Beavers can help stop wildfires
More places in California are embracing them
“They basically build up an ecosystem that’s resilient to fire through the vegetation mosaic then keep it really well watered so it never dries out, never becomes easy to burn”

Despite the importance and popularity of our forests, they face unprecedented threats: real estate development, unsustainable timber harvesting, and—worst of all—severe climate change-driven megafires. These supersized fires, which burn more than 100,000 acres at a time

“If nothing is done to prevent fire from penetrating remote areas of the Amazon, the system may eventually collapse from megafires and become trapped in a persistently flammable, open-vegetation state.”

(Bernando Flores, Brazil’s Federal University of Santa Catarina)

The legacy of past land-use decisions & climate change have led to stark changes for many Sierra-Cascade landscapes & communities. Megafires are burning larger & hotter than historical fires, leaving behind huge landscapes of blackened trees. Learn more: sierranevada.ca.gov/what-we-do/20-…

🔥 MasterScience: The Battles Against Megafires 🔥

No doubt: we're entering an era marked by more frequent 'megafires'.

Join Professor Apostolos Voulgarakis in this AXA Research Fund series to understand:

✔ Why that's happening
✔ The impact of megafires
✔ How they can be managed

Dave McKay, #RBC CEO, says RBC strives to be 'an anchor of stability and a beacon of hope' all while pouring billions and billions of dollars into climate-busting fossil fuels that directly cause megafires, flooding, drought, global heating and mayhem.
