Question

argumentive essay about the idea of using controlled fires to protect wild areas.

Answer 1

Wild forest fires cause extensive damage to flora and fauna and result in destruction of man-made property in and around the area of fire.Controlled fires are used by agriculturists and forest officials to keep wild fires at bay. It involves careful, controlled burning of certain areas of the forest, to clear it off inflammable organic matter. In the event of fire, this cleared-off area acts as a barrier for fire from spreading further.

In the process of controlled burning, several wild animals are killed and lose their habitat. Thick smoke from such man-made fires is a cause for environmental concern too.
