Sparking a Change Part 1.mp4

This video describes the efforts of the Orleans Somes Bar Fire Safe Council
and the Karuk Tribe to restore historic fire regimes in the Western Klamath
Mountains, in order to protect communities and fire-dependent ecosystems
threatened by a century of fire suppression. It describes the history of
fire suppression as a management paradigm, and relates a powerful story of
how prescribed fire and community organizing based on traditional ecological
knowledge can reform the suppression management paradigm.
