Yes, that's actually what I think we should do. We should use forestry as a tool to help diversify and adapt our forests to climate change and other disturbances.
I just got a big grant from NSERC and a lot of partners in Canada and provinces to test this across Canada. The idea will be to use forestry not just to simplify the forest and produce only a few species that are useful for the industry, but really to make the forest better adapted and more diversified. I think that if we do this, we will be able maybe to reduce the risk of having wildfires like the one in Jasper.
I will finish by saying that it should also be done in parks, not just in forests that we cut. Even in parks, the species are maladapted to what's happening and the risk of dying and burning is increasing.
