The Global prescribed Fire Network
The Facebook Global Prescribed Fire Network: Our global prescribed fire group Association of Fire Management Activists is the largest prescribed fire group on Facebook with over 1000 members. In order that we have room to grow we have expanded our network from the global group to six regional groups that cover the world in more detail. These satellite groups are called Prescribed Fire Central & South America Prescribed Fire Europe, Prescribed Fire Australia, Prescribed Fire Asia, Prescribed Fire Africa and Prescribed Fire North America. Anyone with an interest in prescribed fire is welcome to join our groups and network with others to put fire back into nature where it belongs.
I hope that within five years the Association of Fire Management Activists will have 5000 members and the satellite groups 1000 each. It’s taken a number of years of hard work often every day to build up the Association of Fire Management Activists global group to the point where it is today so I expect it will take even more work to continue to build out this Global Fire Network. The concept of a Global Fire Network was developed and implemented by Ed Komarek Sr. my father and built on by Johann Goldammer and now by myself. As I have already pointed out in another article this is a multi-generational effort that still has a long ways to go toward the goal of putting prescribed fire back into all fire adapted ecosystems globally.
Our network in building nicely in all regions but Asia, where we are still weak, so I would appreciate any and all help I can get in locating prescribed fire advocates and scientists in the Asian countries. The following Asian articles from India, Russia, Viet Nam, Bhutan, and Thailand give us some leads to contact prescribed fire advocates in Asia. Hopefully one or more people will take it upon themselves to search out these people in these articles and bring them into our network, either on Facebook or using email. I myself am not well equipped to do this, even though over time I may figure out a way to reach them by Facebook.
