On today’s Your Call at 10am PT on KALW, we’ll discuss the ecological impacts of wildfires. How are animals, endangered species, wildlife and their habitats affected by wildfires? We’ll be joined by:
- Justin Augustine, Senior Attorney at the Center for Biological Diversity
- Alison Hermance, Director of Communications at WildCare
Later in the show, we’ll talk about how California is doing on forest management. The state has only performed prescribed burns on approximately 35,000 acres this year, while experts say that tens of millions of acres still need to be managed statewide. What is holding the state back? We’ll be joined by:
- Don Hankins, pyrogeographer and professor of Geography and Planning at California State University at Chico
- Bill Tripp, deputy director of the Karuk Tribe’s Natural Resources Department in Northern California
