Gavin Jones, Research Ecologist, RMRS Wildlife and Terrestrial Ecosystems Program, Albuquerque

Fire regimes are changing. What will this mean for wildlife? In the face of rapid environmental changes, animals have three choices: adapt, move, or die. Wildlife responses to changing fire regimes will be no different. In this talk, Dr. Gavin Jones discusses how fire regimes have shaped patterns of wildlife diversity, the effects of megafires on focal species, and how management interventions might move the needle on wildlife conservation in a fiery future.
