In recent decades, semi-arid regions around the globe have been increasingly beset by wildland fires that have grown dramatically in their size, frequency, and severity. A combination of climate change, growth in human population density, and years of ecological management emphasizing fire suppression, have resulted in increasingly intensive wildfires whose risks of catastrophic change to the safety and wellbeing of nearby human, animal and other ecologies now reach unprecedented levels. In an effort to address these issues, wildland fire science has taken a renewed interest in exploring novel approaches to fire management, including approaches that consider multi-agency, private and public, and even state, federal and tribal partnerships to address how best to live with wildfire. This project develops plans to advance wildland fire research science and management in the Payahuunadü / Owens Valley & Eastern Sierra region of California. Activities bring together regional stakeholders, scholars, and practitioners to collaborate on an action framework combining Indigenous knowledge systems, natural sciences, and the social sciences, to assess wildfire causes, effects, and management techniques. The team draws on past work building relationships across multiple constituencies to address community- and nature-based fire research aims and management measures.The awarded research project develops a different approach to planning wildfire science research and management across diverse stakeholder communities working and living in regions at risk for catastrophic wildfire. In workshops, collective drafting exercises, and site visits to related fire management programs, the project brings together a diverse team of tribal leaders, Indigenous knowledge keepers, fire science ecologists, government agents and social scientists on plans of action built through and for collaborative partnerships that integrate Indigenous fire science and management practices with natural science wildfire research modeling and data analysis. The project tests the efficacy of co-management plans for addressing wildfire risks faced by diverse stakeholders with interests in the ecosystems, populations, and industries they share. Additionally, it offers a model of best practices for collaboration, consultation, and cooperation relevant to Tribal, State and Federal government-to-government partnerships more generally.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

近年来，全球半干旱地区越来越多地受到荒地火灾的困扰，由于气候变化、人口密度的增长以​​及多年来强调灭火的生态管理，这些火灾的规模、频率和严重程度都急剧增加。 ，导致了日益严重的野火，其对附近人类、动物和其他生态的安全和福祉造成灾难性变化的风险现已达到前所未有的水平。为了解决这些问题，荒地火灾科学对探索新方法重新产生了兴趣。到火灾管理，包括考虑多机构、私人和公共，甚至州、联邦和部落伙伴关系的方法，以解决如何最好地应对野火的问题。该项目制定了推进帕亚胡纳杜/欧文斯山谷荒地火灾研究科学和管理的计划。加利福尼亚州东塞拉地区的活动将区域利益相关者、学者和从业者聚集在一起，合作制定一个结合土著知识系统、自然科学和社会科学的行动框架，以评估野火的原因、影响和管理技术。关于过去的工作建立跨多个选区的关系，以解决基于社区和自然的火灾研究目标和管理措施。获奖的研究项目开发了一种不同的方法来规划在面临灾难性野火风险的地区工作和生活的不同利益相关者社区的野火科学研究和管理。在研讨会、集体起草练习和对相关火灾管理计划的实地考察中，该项目汇集了由部落领袖、土著知识保存者、火灾科学生态学家、政府机构和社会科学家组成的多元化团队，通过合作伙伴关系制定行动计划整合本土火力该项目通过自然科学野火研究模型和数据分析来测试共同管理计划的有效性，以解决对共同的生态系统、人口和行业感兴趣的不同利益相关者所面临的野火风险。与部落、州和联邦政府之间的政府间伙伴关系相关的协作、咨询和合作的最佳实践模型。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优点和更广泛的影响进行评估，被认为值得支持审查标准。
