Victor Steffensen on Indigenous Fire Practices

A powerful interview with Victor Steffensen on the importance of acknowledging and integrating indigenous knowledge into our fire management practices in Australia.

“There is only one fire and that is the right fire and fire for your country, for your environment and a fire that is there more frequently.
