From the ashes – fighting fire with indigenous knowledge

This browser does not support the video element.
In many parts of the world, fires were once a natural phenomenon. Periodic fires rejuvenated forests, made plains fertile, and helped biodiversity to flourish. Today, however, extreme fires are becoming rapidly more prevalent - killing both humans and animals and destroying nature on an unprecedented scale. This documentary follows the collaboration between scientists and indigenous guardians who are fighting to protect forests and other ecosystems. It explores the benefits of traditional farming techniques, exposes prejudice and corruption, and highlights the deep-rooted knowledge that indigenous communities have when it comes to protecting our planet. Their stories can inspire us to see the natural world not as a resource, but as the very foundation of life.
