On episode 56 of the Green Root Podcast, host Josh Schlossberg talks with Dominick DellaSala, Chief Scientist at Wild Heritage, about the crucial role climate change plays in driving large wildfires, the folly of logging our carbon-storing forests under the guise of “fuel reduction,” and the importance of making homes Firewise.

Climate-Driven Wildfire (with Dominick DellaSala of Wild Heritage)

This episode is an edited broadcast of a presentation given to the Pacific Northwest Forest Climate Alliance by Dr. Dominick DellaSala. DellaSala is the Chief Scientist at Wild Heritage, a project of Earth Island Institute, and former President of the Society for Conservation Biology, North America Section. He is an internationally renowned author of over 200 science papers on forest and fire ecology, conservation biology, endangered species management, and landscape ecology.DellaSala describes the nuts and bolts of forest carbon accounting, the importance of mature and old-growth forests as carbon reserves, his most recent US primary forest mapping research, and the unique carbon and biodiverse characteristics of the Tongass Rainforest.To learn more and take action, visit the multi-stakeholder campaign page for protecting US mature and old-growth forests as a cornerstone of US climate policy.Support the show (https://coastrange.org/donate/)

The Tongass Rainforest and a US Strategic Natural Carbon Reserve - Dr. Dominick DellaSala

Dr. Dominick DellaSala talks about fire, including how wildfire is beneficial to our ecosystems. Does thinning help reduce fire? Does it help the forest? It depends. In any case, Dr. DellaSala explains why salvage logging a burned forests is so destructive. Dr. DellaSala also explains the relationship between climate change and forests, and the carbon capture and release of a forest. Finally, Dominick summarizes the green-new-deal from congress. In the last part of this podcast I talk more about the Pacific Connector Gas Pipeline, the BLM's 2018 no-mitigation policy, and the new 885-acre reserve the BLM plans to give to Jordan Cove.For more information:Geos Institute: https://www.geosinstitute.org/Timothy Egan, the Big Burn: https://www.timothyeganbooks.com/the-big-burnGreen New Deal: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_New_DealBLM no-mitigation policy: https://www.blm.gov/policy/im-2019-018New 885-acre BLM reserve given to a foreign corporation: page 2 of the DEIS.Writing FERC comments: https://www.nolngexports.org/write-comments
