Western US forests burned by high-intensity fire have been traditionally perceived as catastrophic events creating loss and devastation rather than birth of habitat for pyrophylic organisms. These fires provide important and rare wildlife habitat that must be protected to ensure the conservation of fire-dependent species. Widespread policies of salvage logging and logging purported to prevent the likelihood of fire harms this rare habitat in private and National Forests. This video captures the beauty and ecological value of a crackling, charred landscape that is home to a unique community of plants and animals adapted to this dynamic, disturbed forest system.
