Fires can be crucial in rangeland management - so why are they often portrayed as a wholly destructive force? Read the piece by @amberhuff.bsky.social, @vorontsovams.bsky.social and Kevin Kirkman, ahead of this month's online event on 25 August. repairproject.org/blog/myth-fi... #RangelandMyths

Travelling south from Antananarivo, the REPAiR project team are observing & documenting the species of grasses we find by the roadside. Certain grasses are important for maintaining healthy livestock, and using fire and grazing patterns can help to promote new fresh growth.

What is nature? Some see nature as a set of 'stocks of resources' to be exchanged and traded. But there are many more complex ways of valuing nature. Frank Matose spoke at our online event on rangelands & the myth of 'Tragedy of the Commons'. #rangelandmyths #IYRP2026 @iyrp2026.bsky.social
