About

Wildfires in America Synopsis

Explore the many dimensions of wildfires and wildfire prevention in the United States, including fire and forest management policies, wildlife conservation considerations, economic implications, and heightened vulnerabilities stemming from climate change. How have agricultural and public land policies, past and present, responded to the threat of wildfires? What is it like to be a firefighter in the American West, where most of the nation's most devastating wildfires are concentrated?

How many thousands of acres are burned up by wildfires every year? Is climate change increasing the severity and frequency of wildfires? This one-stop resource answers all these questions and many more about wildfire and its impacts on American lands and livelihoods.
