Oral McGuire: Cómo vivir con el fuego

Cómo vivir con el fuego

"El fuego descontrolado amenaza la naturaleza, pero el tipo correcto de fuego puede mantener la salud y el equilibrio de la tierra", afirma Oral McGuire, experto en manejo de incendios. Como líder en la comunidad Nyungar del suroeste de Australia y ex bombero, él combina la sabiduría tradicional con técnicas modernas para utilizar el fuego de una manera que promueva la biodiversidad y sane el espíritu de la tierra al mismo tiempo.

Fire can devastate landscapes, yet it is also essential for the health of Australia’s ecosystems. During the Black Summer of 2019–2020, smoke from historic wildfires reached as far as Chile and stained glaciers in New Zealand. For thousands of years, Indigenous cultural burning practices have renewed nature, balanced biodiversity, and connected people to their ancestral lands. Restoring these traditional methods offers a powerful way to heal both country and spirit in an era of climate change.
