Also, I don't recall any kind of "thought reaction" to you original post, when the Kelowna fire happened.
Sounds like wildlife is just fine up in Kelowna...even better then before....
Also....look at Yellowstone....let's not forget that fire....
Look at all the benefits it had for wildlife.
Pine beetle and over logging (due to pine beetle)...in many areas...has been nothing but detrimental to wildlife.
Roads are littered all over the plateau around cache creek and Clinton due to pine beetle/logging etc.
This fire has been long over due.
God, if a fire could happen up in the area where I hunt in the EK, it would be the best thing ever for wildlife...
It's been well over 100 years+ since that area has seen a fire, and pine beetle has taken over, and now the logging,
granted, the logging has been much more "reserved" in that area, but everytime another road is added up there as well.
I appreciate much of what you post, and the efforts you put in to help etc, but I couldn't disagree with you more on
this one....
Just my opinion...BMI
Looks like you get it fella.
The fires in the Cariboo cover a relatively small area of Region 5 and, as you said, are going to be the best thing to happen to the wildlife in that area. The loss of homes/property/livestock is significant and I truly feel for all those affected but that is a separate issue.
Fires happen, wildlife deals with it and will eventually flourish. We've been talking about applying fire to the landscape for far too long and now nature has taken things into it's own hands.
