i want the forest fire project report?

i am a student of 9th std. from cbse. i want to write a project report on forest fire. plz tell me abt that.

Fires good and bad
Fire is sometimes essential for forest regeneration, or provides tangible benefits for local communities. In other cases it destroys forests and has dire social and economic consequences.

Forest fires are a natural part of ecosystems in many, but not all, forest types: in boreal and dry tropical forests for example they are a frequent and expected feature, while in tropical moist forests they would naturally be absent or at least rare enough to play a negligible role in ecology.

When fires become a problem…
Fires become a problem when they burn in the wrong places, or in the right places but at the wrong frequency or the wrong temperatures. Fires in forests that burn under natural circumstances become a problem when those forests are used for a particular purpose, such as settlement or timber production.

Devastating to forests & humans
The immediate impact of forest fires can be devastating to human communities and forest ecosystems alike.

Fires can alter the structure and composition of forests, opening up areas to invasion by fast-colonizing alien species and threaten biological diversity.

Buildings, crops and plantations are destroyed and lives can be lost. For companies, fire can mean the destruction of assets; for communities, besides loss of an important resource base, fire can also lead to environmental degradation through impacts on water cycles, soil fertility and biodiversity; and for farmers, fire may mean the loss of crops or even livelihoods.

WHAT IS A WILDFIRE?

Wildfire is one of the most destructive natural forces known to mankind. While sometimes caused by lightning, nine out of ten wildfires are human-caused. Put simply, "wildfire" is the term applied to any unwanted and unplanned fire burning in forest, shrub or grass.

The current increase in instances of wildfire can be explained by four key factors:

1. Past fire suppression policies, including one of "total suppression," which allowed for the accumulation of fuel in the form fallen leaves, branches, and excessive plant overgrowth in forest and wildland areas
2. Increasingly dry, hot weather.
3. Changing weather patterns across the US.
4. Increased residental development in the wildland/urban interface.

To fully understand the growing risk of wildfires and their growing frequency, explore the elements of fire, fire's natural place in certain ecosystems, and what happens when fire is removed from a fire dependent ecosystem.
