Just a quick FYI

The estimated figure for loss of wildlife is somewhere in the 1.2 billion figure.

and if you add to that all the bugs and grubs of the ecosystem it is 100 times that figure.

The soil in some places is dead. The ash has literally covered everything, as the areas have not been maintained for decades now.

Although fire is natural, arson is not natural.

Although fire is part of natures way, it is also important that we as humans, as the species on our planet with a responsibility to be responsible for our planet do what is necessary so as to assist mother nature and all its beauty.

After all we do have the most to gain and to lose if we don't do what we can in the most rational and logical way possible.

Not "yelling" just saying it as it is, as much as I can't stand the "alarmists", I just as much can not stand the outright stupidity seen and allowed over the decades by those who let those using nature as their ticket into "politics".

If this isn't a wake up call, then what is!
