From the text...'The number of wildland fires in Canada has been increasing steadily since 1960 and the area burned appears to have tripled since 1980. There are many possible reasons for the apparent trend. A workshop of Canadian fire experts was convened to 'understand the causes and increase awareness of the impacts of escalating wildland fire activity in Canada and recommend appropriate responses.' The workshop had five objectives: 1. Determine whether fire activity has increased. 2. Evaluate and prioritize the possible causes. 3. Summarize the potential impacts. 4. Recommend appropriate responses. 5. Communicate the findings and recommendations...The findings are summarized according to the workshop objectives.'
