THE CONVERSATION

New research in Arnhem Land reveals why institutional fire management is inferior to cultural burning. One of the conclusions of this week’s shocking State of the Environment report is that climate change is lengthening Australia’s bushfire seasons and raising the number of days with a fire danger rating of “very high” or above. In New South Wales, for example, the season now extends to almost eight months.
