"Fire is natural in some ecosystems, but almost all British “wildfires” are
started by people. Whether they become catastrophic increasingly depends on the
landscapes they burn through. That’s why wildfire policy can’t only focus on
preventing ignitions – it must go hand in hand with rebuilding landscapes that
resist fire.
Rewilding is often presented as a wildfire problem; when you stop grazing,
cutting or burning, vegetation accumulates and there is more fuel for fires.
But this is not the full story. Carefully planned rewilding that focuses on
restoring functioning ecosystems can make landscapes wetter, patchier and more
fire resistant."
