Are there any current projects in your neck of the woods studying indigenous fire use to manage plant and animal resources? I am an anthropologist and paleoecologist and I study the effects of fire on ethnobotanically important underground storage organ (root and tuber) plants like onions and wild carrot here in the west. It’s a great tool for educating the public about the benefits of fire, and engaging indigenous communities and their histories in ecological restoration/management.
