“Policy and management have focused primarily on ... fire suppression and fuels management. 
These strategies are inadequate to address a new era of western wildfires …. We propose an 
approach that accepts wildfire as an inevitable catalyst of change and that promotes adaptive 
responses by ecosystems and residential communities to more warming and wildfire. “
