En algunos lugares, particularmente en los bosques húmedos, a veces es difícil quemar incendios, pero creo que debemos esforzarnos más. Gracias por su sugerencia.<br /><br />Translation: <br />Comment: Have you asked Australian Aborigines why the fires? Their ancient wisdom is superior to all who have come later, simply because they have lived long before.<br />Answer: I agree. The ancient wisdom of fire stick agriculture is very compelling. In some places, particularly damp rainforests, it is sometimes hard to get fires to burn, but i think we must try harder.

Others have recovered with speed i cannot credit, and show greater diversity and vigor than the unburned fragments nearby. Those impacted, human or other, likewise carry unequal burdens of grief. I have seen the injured survive only to die unremarked. I have seen those scared take to wing and breed families in the short period following - this morning i saw eagles parenting a young bird just off the nest at Palarang, cruelly despoiled by fire, but now alive again.<br />We must do better.Peter Quintonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04925682389368386060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5139897458352171700.post-77051258339396823532020-04-25T20:17:34.810-07:002020-04-25T20:17:34.810-07:00Hi Julianne - out of the frying pan and into...Hi Julianne - out of the frying pan and into...Peter Quintonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04925682389368386060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5139897458352171700.post-84035991984288768282020-04-25T20:16:25.151-07:002020-04-25T20:16:25.151-07:00Thank you Jai - It has been a horrible period of f...Thank you Jai - It has been a horrible period of fear and distress, culminating in a short period of me being dead (although i rather enjoyed the experience from the little i remember). Transitioning from hospital to the pandemic has been overwhelming.<br />Things will never be the same, but perhaps we will be able to do better when the opportunity presents.Peter Quintonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04925682389368386060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5139897458352171700.post-32489634731110203982020-04-25T08:33:06.521-07:002020-04-25T08:33:06.521-07:00¿Habéis preguntado a los aborígenes australianos e...¿Habéis preguntado a los aborígenes australianos el porqué de los incendios?.
