Credited from: NEWSWEEK

  • Los Angeles’ ecosystem is primarily grassland, contrary to the common belief that it is a desert, and fire is part of its natural cycle.
  • Mike Davis' book, Ecology of Fear, highlights the danger of developing lands like Malibu, suggesting that these areas are prone to catastrophic fires.
  • The city's unique climate, including a wet/dry seasonal cycle and Santa Ana winds, combined with urban development, greatly increases wildfire risks.
  • The phenomenon of wildland-urban interfaces in Los Angeles leads to dangerous situations where natural and urban environments collide.
  • Although accountability exists for human actions, California's wildfire conditions are also a legacy of historical development choices.
