After 17 years, Canada Wildfire’s founding Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) will be coming to an end. While the MOU is concluding, our operations will continue through spring 2026, and may extend beyond as we work to complete our current mandate responsibly. photo credit: Ang Beaulac, RPFT

New paper in Global Ecology & Biogeography on the fire‐fuel feedback effect in Canadian forests. By 2100, under extreme climate change scenarios, fire-fuel feedback could reduce annual area burned, # of fires & annual max fire size by 21%, 21% & 16%, respectively.
