We supposedly model our economy on our sister nations such as the UK, USA and Canada, but when you travel to these countries you see that they try to look after their lands, and we don’t.
I have just spent 40 days in Canada. Saw massive areas that had be completely burnt by wildfires. There were a couple fires still burning in BC that they were not attacking, but leaving to run their natural course and be extinguished by coming winter snow falls. This was for hazard reduction.

When we have vast areas locked up in State forests and National Parks without any proper form of fire, weed or feral animal control, we have disasters waiting on several fronts.
What % of the fires burning now are in or have started in State forests or National Parks?
What % of the rest have been deliberated started?
