In this episode of Nature In A Nutshell, we're joined by CIEEM Vice President (Wales), Harri Webb, to explore the rising wildfire risks in the UK. We explore the ecological impacts of wildfires and what can be done to reduce their risk before they start. Beyond the immediate damage seen in the headlines, we discuss the long-term effects on habitats, species, peatlands, and water quality, and why ecologists are becoming an increasingly important part of wildfire resilience planning.
We also take a look at the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG)'s recently revised National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) for England.
Nature In A Nutshell is brought to you by the Chartered Institute of Ecology and Environmental Management (CIEEM). We are the leading professional membership body representing and supporting ecologists and environmental managers in the UK, Ireland and abroad.
