inObserving forest monitoring drones has me rethinking wildfire prevention strategies
What if our drive to prevent all fires is actually damaging to forests that require periodic burns? I've read that some tree species, like lodgepole pines, rely on heat to open their cones and release seeds. If drones help us stamp out every tiny hotspot, we might be preventing these necessary ecological processes. That could lead to even denser forests packed with fuel, setting the stage for catastrophic fires instead of smaller, manageable ones. Maybe the data from drones should be used to guide controlled burns rather than just suppress all natural ignition. It feels like we're trading one problem for another if we don't consider the bigger ecological picture.
