Wildfire season has become a fact of life in recent years; every summer, wildfires erupt and threaten ecosystems, communities and our health—and now are further accelerated by climate change and forest fuel buildup. The recent devastation in Jasper National Park is a solemn reminder of this impact. Now more than ever, we need a “whole of society” approach to a problem we can no longer ignore. Governments, industry, communities and the forest sector must work together to implement sustainable forest management practices; ones that protect the forests and ensure they remain places for future generations to live, work and play in. By looking at B.C. in particular, where high-intensity wildfires ravaged the landscape last year, the importance of making wildfire resiliency a primary focus becomes clear.
