‘This isn’t sexy forestry’: how to protect forests from fire

As Canada continues to grapple with a record breaking wildfire season, some say it's a wake-up call to rethink our relationship with forests. For years, the logging industry has been built to maximize profits, rather than maximize wildfire resilience. What On Earth's Zoë Yunker introduces us to two B.C. communities doing things differently. And – cooking jerk shrimp without the smoke. Story producer Dannielle Piper tells us why a group is building cleaner-burning stoves in Nicaragua. Bonus, Dannielle teaches Laura how to make traditional Jamaican jerk shrimp!
