🌍🔥Climate Change Perspectives on Land Management & Wildfire Climate change, combined with unsustainable land use and management, has substantially changed the occurrence, magnitude, and intensity of wildfires in numerous regions. This has reduced the inherent resilience of ecosystems adapted to fire and increased the susceptibility of those sensitive to fire 📈🔥Rising Threats: Experts warn of a looming crisis. It's estimated that by 2030, we could see a 14% increase in extreme fires globally, with projections soaring to 30% by 2050 and a staggering 50% by the century's end. 🌡️ 🔥🌲Drivers of Destruction: Climate change serves as a potent accelerant for wildfire risk, fueling conditions ripe for infernos with increased drought, soaring temperatures, and erratic weather patterns. The toll is evident, with climate change doubling the forest area burned in the western United States over the past three decades. Unsustainable land use practices and deforestation further exacerbate these vulnerabilities, compromising the resilience of natural ecosystems and exacerbating drought conditions. 🌿💔 🤝💚A Path to Resilience: Addressing the intertwined challenges of climate change and wildfire demands a holistic approach. By integrating sustainable land management, responsible forest practices, and strategic fire management into national development plans and climate strategies, we can forge a path towards resilience. This includes leveraging international agreements like the Paris Agreement and the United Nations Strategic Plan for Forests to advance a unified forest-climate agenda.

We’ve launched our new website featuring specific solutions for community protection agencies and land managers using our wildfire hazard modeling and information-rich scenario planning to: ✅ streamline partner and community engagement ✅ mitigate fire risk in and surrounding communities ✅ improve operational firefighting space Why? Because the world is experiencing a rapid increase of wildfire risk and that requires a ‘common operating picture’ for strategically prioritizing and coordinating critical decisions to mitigate risk to communities, utilities, and critical natural resources, BEFORE fire sparks. Check it out! https://lnkd.in/e67H9-5j

🌍🔥 Health Perspectives on Land Management & Wildfire 🌲 Wildfire smoke has serious implications for human health. As we know well from recent devastating fires in places like California and Canada, extreme wildfires can spread fine particulate matter over thousands of miles. Elevated pollution levels aggravate cardiovascular and respiratory conditions and during regional wildfire smoke exposures, emergency room visits increase. Some studies have even found connections between extreme wildfire events and preterm or low-weight births. According to the American Lung Association, land management tools that reduce the risk of catastrophic fire, including prescribed fire, are vital to prevent large-scale, severe smoke exposures. With Land Tender, land managers can plan interventions more efficiently and at scale to protect the health of their communities. Want to read more about the American Lung Association’s research on prescribed fires and health harm mitigation?
