The moment uplands are freed from grazing they begin to hold more water.
The increasing mass of vegetation can dry out and burn.
Drones can spot fires when they start & call more drones to put them out.
As uplands become wooded they protect lowlands from flood & drought. And less likely to burn.
@irishrainforest.bsky.socialIt was *already* an apocalyptic landscape. That's why it burned like it did.
