While fire is a natural part of our planet’s ecology, wildfires are changing, and rapidly. Decades of efficient suppression have produced fuel conditions capable of explosive megafires, which burn hotter, spread faster, and lead to disasters impacting a growing number of communities. 

Every biome on Earth, including tropical rainforest, tundra, and permafrost, are now threatened by disaster wildfires that do irreparable damage to the landscapes on every continent except Antarctica. This planetary crisis requires radical collaboration on a global scale.
