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'....
