PART B_2

Forest Burning

The number of wildfires that had been recorded over the past years has been increasing. Wildfire has been threatening the lives and health of many people most especially in the United States. Meanwhile, forest burning is also a way to save them. This has a positive effect on the ecosystem. In fact, this has been used for thousands of years as a tool to stimulate plant growth and as a source of ground nutrients. Although forest burning might not look good at first, Dr. Huffman, landscape director of the Nature Conservancy, ensures that this will lead to a better result.

The Nature Conservancy in New Mexico has been teaching domestic firefighters and forest experts from different countries like Mexico, Argentina, Costa Rica, and Spain on how to set forests on fire. Most of these firefighters and experts have experienced seeing their country suffer from a massive wildfire. During the training, their goal was to learn new skills that they could use to improve the land management plans in the world. The training program focuses on discussing the prescribed burning methods, fire management, and forest conservation practice. They started this program in the year 2008 to solve the shortage of qualified burners. This program has resulted in the treatment of more than 65,000 acres in the United States.
