Smokey was created to help stop human-caused wildfires. Specifically‚ during World War II‚ Japan was purposefully igniting acres of forests. “The reason for this is that they wanted to impact the timber industry because during this era nearly everything was made out of wood” (“The History Career of Smokey Bear”). Because of this‚ the Ad Council stepped in and created Smokey Bear. There were many effects. The most important one was the number of wildfires drop drastically. Through an ad campaign‚ Smokey

A benefit of controlled burning is that they can reduce the threat of large wildfires which in turn leads to helping and protecting the forest in many ways. Wildfires can "threaten public safety‚ impair forest and ecosystem health‚ and degrade air quality" (Daniel Boone National Forest 1). If dry brush is not burnt out in a safe controlled manner the risk for wildfires grows very large along with the risk of these effects. Wildfires can‚ and have‚ run very out of control and destroy peoples homes and put

According to a report from bbc.com‚ it said‚ “17 wildfires in nine counties have burned more than 115‚000 acres in just the past 12 hours.” The data is reported in the past 12 hours‚ which means the damage is going to be larger‚ and there is no signal to show the fire will stop spreading out. By just looking at the cost it has created‚ I suddenly wonder did we actually consider the wildfires as a disaster? Well‚ I think we have not. In my opinion‚ besides water‚ the

inhabited by plants life. A wildfire is one example of secondary succession. When a disturbance in the environment occurs‚ such as a wildfire‚ either part or all of the community is destroyed. The aftermath of the wildfire leaves a barren landscape open to new growth‚ vegetation‚ and re-colonization of plant species (Gurevitch et al‚ 2002). Various studies have been undertaken and completed regarding the restoration and recovery of plant communities following wildfires. These studies include aspects

Only because they are destroying our homes‚ schools‚ economy and even the wildlife‚ but nobody really knows what to do‚ what to say or has any of the answers. The wildfires in Australia can be prevented by better funding‚ more awareness groups‚ and the careful consideration of the residents living in this area. In Australia‚ the funding for the prevention and re-building of these wildfires is very limited. Statistics show that

2008 issue To Prevent Wildfires‚ Avoid Open Burning Due to retreating snows and the onset of warm‚ dry weather‚ people should avoid burning brush and other debris during early spring conditions. Every spring‚ firefighters respond to hundreds of wildfires caused by open burning. In fact‚ brush and debris burning is the second most common preventable cause of wildfires. A lack of green vegetation‚ lots of dead vegetation‚ warm temperatures‚ sun and winds all allow wildfires to start easily and spread

Throughout the biological history of the earth various mass extinction events have occurred (2) in which worldwide biodiversity greatly declined.

They are very destructive and there is one major way to stop them. The best way to stop a wildfire is to make sure that you keep long dead grass and bushes gone‚ so the fire will not spread. They are usually very small in Michigan‚ but some of the major wildfires are located in California. Earthquakes are occurring everywhere. Most earthquakes
