Given these realities, reducing home ignition should be the preferred public policy. Renovating homes by installing metal or other non-burnable roofing material, screening vents, and removing vegetation immediately next to the structure can significantly enhance the house’s survivability. Encouraging non-wood home construction could further enhance community safety.
In the end, fuel reductions (other than immediately adjacent to homes and communities) are ineffective policies. We should shift the fire policy focus on the house and work outward.

#WillowTit used to be a common #forest species in Finland. 2019 it was classified as #endangered on the Red List because of drastic population declines.
A new 30 year study suggests main culprit is intensive #forestry:
"The #EvenAged #forest #management has caused habitat loss for the #WillowTit which has affected the spatial breeding distribution measures and probably has a major role in the #population #decline of the species."
