Description
Land managers distinguish fire-sensitive forest and peat from fire-adapted savanna or shrubland, then restrict ignition and prepare rapid containment accordingly.
The approach avoids importing prescribed-burning policies across ecological boundaries. Rules need local mapping and viable alternatives for land users.
