Why is it a Wicked Problem?
Human caused forest fires is a rather Wicked Problem as the issue impacts multiple stakeholders at various scales, the solution to the issue is hard to gauge, and being wrong could have large impacts on people in BC. We see the impact that fire has on the province and its people; we need to start moving towards a solution.
How did we get here?
The discussion about how we got into this Wicked Problem varies depending on the stakeholder you interact with. Climate change has played a big role in amplifying this issue; hotter weather and less rain.
