A paper published in Nature Sustainability challenges the feasibility of implementing early dry season fires as a one -size-fits-all fire management strategy for African conservation areas.

Proponents claim that this approach could reduce greenhouse gas emissions, restore ecosystems, and generate significant carbon revenues to fund conservation.

The paper argues that the ecological, climatic, and economic outcomes of such a strategy may not align with expectations.

The paper argues that the tools and understanding are available to use fire to achieve a range of conservation and landscape management objectives.

It would be a mistake to reproduce the errors of the past by adopting a single approach to fire management across Africa 's diverse landscapes: For this reason, urges Archibald , researchers and practitioners need to listen to local knowledge.
