History/The Solution

Burning practices in Australia demonstrated by the natives have been around for 50,000 years, as they used fire to burn scrub to make hunting easier and allow the growth of bush potatoes. The aboriginal technique of being able to control a less-intense, smaller fire could serve  as a solution to the wildfires. With the understanding of what types of fire are needed to burn for certain types of land, the amount of time to burn them for, and the knowledge of what specific grass burns decently, the smaller fires would help to lessen the impact on animals nearby and allow less damage to trees and canopy.
