  • Submission to NSW Independent Bushfire Inquiry Dailan Pugh, for North East Forest Alliance, April 2020
    NEFA Submission to NSW Bushfire Inquiry Submission to NSW Independent Bushfire Inquiry Dailan Pugh, for North East Forest Alliance, April 2020 Six months later: Much of the heavily burnt stands in Ellangowan State Forest are not going to recover, 1 NEFA Submission to NSW Bushfire Inquiry Consideration against the NSW Independent Bushfire Inquiry's terms of reference: 1. The causes of, and factors contributing to, the frequency, intensity, timing and location of, bushfires in NSW in the 2019- 20 bushfire season, including consideration of any role of weather, drought, climate change, fuel loads and human activity. 6. [to make recommendations on] hazard reduction, zoning, and any appropriate use of indigenous practices. 2019 was Australia’s hottest, driest year on record and 2018-2019 was southeast Australia's driest two-year period on record. It is apparent the principle exasperating factors affecting the severity and extent of the 2019-20 bushfires in north-east NSW were the record drought and temperatures in the preceding months. There can be no doubt the extent and severity of the fires were due to climate heating. Though there are numerous underlying factors contributing to the dryness, structure, and composition of the vegetation, and thus the nature and extent of the fires. Fire initiated by lightning has been a factor driving evolution and adaptation of Australian biota for millions of years, long before people arrived. There can be no doubt that people, and their use of fire for a variety of purposes, changed the extent and frequency of fire in parts of the landscape, and thus contributed to subsequent environmental changes.
