Abstract: Is fire a major conservation issue? A growing body of anecdotal and scientific evidence suggests that it is, but the science remains uneven. The global extent of the conservation threat is still largely undocumented. The United Nations and other bodies have made various attempts to assess the impact of fires on people and the capacity of nations to manage fire outbreaks, but none of these assessments to date have addressed biodiversity conservation and fire�s changing role in the Earth�s ecosystems. This report is a first attempt to address the relationship between biodiversity and fires.
