Table Mountain National Park in South Africa uses a fuel reduction burn strategy called stack burning to prevent uncontrolled wildfires. These burns are a calculated precautionary measure that eliminates dry, flammable material that has piled up in the park. TMNP performs these burns every winter to minimize the risk of future destructive fires and to control invasive species. The park is committed to minimizing disruption to households during the process and has recommended precautionary measures for nearby residents. Through strategic prevention, TMNP is protecting South Africa’s rich biodiversity and setting an example of proactive environmental management.
