Recent wildfires, intensified by climate change, underscore the urgent need for action. Climate-induced hot, dry conditions fuel these disasters, with human causes like downed power lines often igniting the spark. Past land management policies have made conditions worse by creating large expanses of dry, flammable land across the US. Though this sounds like a lot of bad news, there are clear solutions in sight.

Fix 1: Proactively restore our forrests and clear dry brush
Fix 2: Lobby for more research into alert systems, forest managment and our changing ecosystems.
Fix 3: Repurpose dead trees and brush for use in paper products and construction

Present in over 180 countries, peatlands are terrestrial wetland ecosystems whose soils consist of decaying matter from plants that form peat. Peatlands store twice as much carbon as the world’s forests.
Protecting and restoring peatlands throughout the world is an imperative solution to the climate crisis. Research has shown that if peatlands were restored, they would prevent annual emissions of nearly 400 million tons of carbon dioxide equivalents. “Despite their importance, peatlands around the world are being drained and converted for agriculture, infrastructure development, mining and oil and gas exploration. Peatlands are also being degraded by fire, overgrazing, nitrogen pollution and extraction of peat as fuel and as a growing medium. Despite covering only 0.4 per cent of the global land surface, drained peatlands are responsible for more than 5 per cent of our carbon emissions, and much more when they are burning.”
