From
space,
we
can
understand
fires
in
ways
that
are
impossible
from
the
ground.
New
Earth-observing
satellites
capture
the
significant
impact
of
fires
on
our
planet.
In
this
animation
of
fires
around
the
globe
in
2002,
each
red
dot
marks
a
new
fire.
Dots
change
color
to
yellow
after
a
few
days
and
to
black
when
fires
burn
out.
From

fires
in
Africa
to

may
change
as
the

People
are
demanding
more
of
the
goods,
services,
and
amenities
provided
by
the
forests
of
the
Pacific
Northwest,
but
the
finiteness
of
the
supply
has
become
clear.
This
issue
involves
complex
questions
of
biology,
economics,
social
values,
community
life,

The
federal
role
in
the
management
of
nonfederal
U.S.
forests
was
once
relatively
simple:
to
assist
in
the
prevention
and
control
of
wildfires.
The
administrative
structure
to
carry
out
this
role
was
similarly
uncomplicated,
with
most
programs
under
the
aegis
of
the
U.S.
Department
of
Agriculture.
In
recent
years,
however,
both
the
management
and
administrative
landscapes
have
changed
dramatically.
