The Forest Will Burn
In Canada, forests burn regardless of human presence. In the face of climate changing, natural cycles of forest wildfires are being affected in ways we don’t yet understand.
We must therefore prepare our communities as best we can through improved forest management techniques. Besides, utilizing the byproducts from sustainable and responsible forest management techniques – namely biomass – can bring about economic opportunities, jobs, cleaner air, energy independence, and local food production. It also reduces reliance on fossil fuels in small communities that must use diesel generators to make electricity.
FPInnovations produced the video The Forest Will Burn that proposes a novel strategy to mitigate the destructive power of forest wildfires while harnessing the energy for constructive purposes.
