    Generally, good land management is lazy land management. Nature (and her ecosystems) got on just fine without us. The only reason we need to manage the fire cycle now is so that we don’t have our population centers burnt by the natural fire cycle. However, we largely already fucked that part up by intervening in the fire cycle, and not allowing areas close to these centers to burn. As a result, you end up with conflagrations popping up where you don’t want them to.

      Exactly this. Most land management is focused on “how can we make this better for humans” not “how can we make this better for nature”. The answer largely is “stop fucking with shit and let it do its own thing and self regulate again”.
