Fire Scientists on Impacts of Planned Burns in Wet Forests
This week on Earth Matters, Hannah speaks with fire scientist Phil Zylstra about the large planned burn that took place in the Snowy River National Park. He speaks on the ecological impacts planned burns have on wet forest ecosystems and how Forest Fire Management Victoria is escalating the impacts of fires in the long-term. We also hear from activist and organiser Violet Coco on fuel breaks mimicking the logging-past of Victoria, with some motivating words on fighting for forest protection.
