The black-backed woodpecker is one of the rarest birds in #California, and lately it’s become something more: a symbol of a huge scientific and political debate over the future of fire in American forests. Hundreds of species can live in recently burned forest, and many of them actually prefer these charred forests above any other habitat. Far from being calamities, many experts now see #forestfires as essential to improving the long-term health of the forests, thinning them and creating greater variability on the landscape. But a shift toward letting more fires rage is certain to raise fears about public safety in communities that border forests. Scientists who want to let more fires burn have to make it clear that they don’t mean to put people’s lives on the line. This battle over forest management may come to a climax in the next few years, though — and the tiny black-backed woodpecker (like the one photographed here by @noah3929) could be one reason.
