So it looks like the causes are:
- Increasing natural disasters such as wildfires, tornadoes and hurricanes
- Continual development in forested areas
- Aging forests
This means at minimum we would have to:
- Mitigate climate change
- Create more national/protected forest areas
- Manage those forests effectively to ensure efficient carbon absorption (replacing older trees with younger trees when applicable).
That’s a pretty tall order.
But a necessary one
