A Beautifully Burned Forest (with Richard Hutto, Wildlife Biologist)

On episode 100 of the Green Root Podcast—the official podcast of Eco-Integrity Alliance—we explore the ecological wonderland and wildlife haven that is a severely-burned forest, with Richard Hutto, emeritus professor in wildlife biology and author of the new book, A BEAUTIFULLY BURNED FOREST: LEARNING TO CELEBRATE SEVERE FOREST FIRE.

Host Josh Schlossberg talks with Richard about:

-The science informing his book, A BEAUTIFULLY BURNED FOREST
-The wildlife species that need severely-burned forests to survive
-How industry, government, and media have demonized wildfire
-How advocates might inform the public as to the crucial role of wildfire in western forests and harm from “fuel reduction” logging
-Richard’s take on the root of the ecological crisis
