Forest Fire Knowledge

Forest Fire Knowledge is an academic construct in the Anthropology of Forests that comprises localized, culturally transmitted understandings and practices concerning the causes, ecologies, governance, and socio-ecological impacts of forest fires, distinguishing it from generalized environmental knowledge by its specific focus on fire as a relational phenomenon embedded in human-forest interactions.
