I've been thinking about the whole "fire as a natural and often  helpful 
force in nature". Although I agree with this philosophy in many ways, I  would 
put forth that the preexisting loss of habitat disproportionately  
increases the importance of these areas  to the animals dependant upon  them. I 
also 
feel that, in some instances, the profound effect of  the booming 
populations of people in these areas will make it harder  for these areas to 
recover. 
These are the cases that might benefit from outside  intervention from 
people that have knowledge about what it takes to restore  the area to an 
effective environment.
    I'm just sayin'....
