From the text ... 'Recently, a meeting in Australia entitled 'Bushfires, biodiversity and climate change' was convened to explore these complex issues. The 21 participants were drawn from a number of research and management agencies. The meeting was supported by the National Climate Change Adaptation Research Facility, NCCARF; http://www.nccarf.edu.au/). The principal task was to explore the intersection of the conservation of biodiversity and the management of fire in the face of climate change, and to provide guidance to fire and biodiversity managers on practical pathways to adapt fire and biodiversity management to the changing, but uncertain, circumstances of the 21st century. The workshop brought together leading fire ecologists and managers to address this problem.' © 2012 CSIRO. New Phytologist © 2012 New Phytologist Trust.
