Fire, biodiversity and governance

This post project will contribute to the analysis of human-fire interactions and specifically explore the role of fire in mediating the relationship between cultural diversity and biodiversity. It will examine the ecological impacts of different forms of human fire use, e.g. cultural burning / livelihood fires, and how knowledge of these practices is shared, adapted, and affected by other changes, such as in vegetation (e.g. fragmentation, plantations, invasive species), climate change and governance.
