The Root Causes

Donnell begins by examining the root causes of our environmental crisis. He reveals how decades of unsustainable land-use practices, driven by economic growth and agricultural expansion, have left our land vulnerable to wildfires.

He also discusses the role of climate change in exacerbating the problem. Rising temperatures and more frequent droughts are creating the perfect conditions for wildfires to spread and intensify.

The Devastating Impacts

The impacts of our fire economy are devastating. Donnell reports on the loss of native ecosystems, the destruction of wildlife habitats, and the displacement of communities.

He also highlights the health risks associated with wildfire smoke, which can cause respiratory problems, heart disease, and even cancer.

A Path Forward

Despite the challenges, Donnell believes that there is still hope for Aotearoa. He outlines a path forward towards a sustainable future, based on regenerative agriculture, reforestation, and community engagement.

He also calls for a shift in our values, away from economic growth at all costs and towards a more sustainable and equitable society.
