These pages contain a variety of information and resources related to the conservation of terrestrial ecosystems, especially those that are significantly affected by fire. Fire is an essential force that has shaped life around the globe. But in many ecosystems today, the role of fire is severely out of balance.

The Nature Conservancy works to maintain fire’s role where it benefits people and nature, and keep fire out of places where it is destructive. Visit nature.org or contact us at fire@tnc.org for information about the Conservancy’s fire-related programs.
