Fire: A Friend or Foe

The importance of fire to support biodiversity, ecosystem functioning and livelihood within grasslands, rangelands and savanna is well documented.

However, current climate, land use, socio-economic and management changes has resulted in the suppression and inappropriate use of fire thereby leading more uncontrolled wildfires which are often regarded as disastrous, negative and harmful.

The presentation will highlight the collective understanding, knowledge and experiences from the Kruger National Park on how fire can be used and managed to improve ecological, social, and economic wellbeing within fire-dependent savanna ecosystem
