Our early ancestors relied on lightning to cause forest fires, from which they could collect coals and burning sticks to help them cook food and clear land. Yet, it wasn’t just humans who benefited from these natural phenomena. Even as they destroyed trees, fires also helped the forests themselves. Jim Schulz outlines the benefits of wildfire.

Who came after amazon rainforest fire
Amazon's case is worse or just a renewing effect? I tried to read more but I haven't found enough sources :/
@@collazoseinos672 this is human made. It will not be replaced with forest
Yup

Props to the authors which included Fahrenheit and Celsius.
+Moody I refuse to watch videos that don't include distance in proper furlongs.
Moody AM TRIGGERED THAT THEY DIDNT ADD KELVIN seriously the forgot kelvin
Moody *they
Kelvin is only used when it's a very high temperature. Like, 10.000 C°.
None of them are SI units
I really enjoy listening to TED Talks, always help me increase my knowledge.

the "feminist" ones as well? :)
+none none The feminist videos are mental poison.

I guess you're not in touch with what feminists have been saying and doing in the last few years ...
and it certainly *does not* mean equality for men, only women ...
+CeaoS +亜梨沙I think in English both meanings are correct.
Laquin Laquih
can you point me to an English dictionary where it *actually* says that feminism is for equality for women AND men?
wouldn't that be the definition for humanism, egalitarianism or something???
omg the animation!!
I usually am unable to sit down and watch a scientific video properly, but this - really made me see it from the start till the end. Props to the amazing animators!!!
I love the way you compared the phenomenon to a phoenix.
+Siddharth Kansal I love you
+Siddharth Kansal I was about the say the same. Good video.
that was not a pheonix tho. it was a moltres
Me too, the phoenix reminds me of Fawkes :))).
It reminded me of hindu mythology
Long ago the four nations lived in harmony, but everything changed when the fire nation atta... wait are they burning down a forest? Oh, they are just helping the pinetree's seeds to germinate. Thanks guys you're the best!

haha
Fire Nation did nothing wrong
👏🏼👏🏼
Haha
This video was strangely poetic

Guys, for christ's sake, the Amazon is a tropical forest, different from the one in this video. There aren't coniferas in the amazon, for example, and the weather is too humid for it to catch fire naturally.
It's a man made fire to illegally create space for the agribusiness' corn and soy culture.
False. Here in the Southeast...it can be very humid and we have several big wildfires. Why? Because of the vegetation we have is very oily.
@@wildlandfirefighter5656the point Is that vegetation there is not oily and furthermore, the only thing protecting it is the humidity of the environment
@@elboludodelaesquina2326 palms have oily residue.
@@elboludodelaesquina2326 I think you need to research it
Well july did cause the worse temperature ever record that might cause the start the fire in the first place, climate change
video is 4:20. Blaze the forest, boys.

holy shit TED Ed are fucking stoners. i fucking knew it. I'm on one right now!

its actually 4: 21

"The fear of fire comes from detaching yourself from the landscape; the fear of fire comes from separating ourselves from our country" -- Victor Steffenson, Indigenous Elder.
This video was three years ago and youtube recommend this now while the Amazon forest was on fire.
Nice.
*Published on Feb 2016*
This Video Is Not About Amazon Rainforest.
Obviously, that fire was human made.
So what. It's not about poopoo or milk either.

+Dimi Kap That's funny because that is the center of the Chrisitian world message HAHAHAHA
+Josue Lopez Well, maybe, but i wasn't referring to Christianity in any way, at least i didn't have that in mind 😂
Dimi Kap Yeah, I know, it's just funny though
This is not applicable to rainforests, so it can't be applied in the Amazon Forest.
If you're talking about the video , its 3 years ago...
@@kh2b573 its still the same you shouldn't burn rainforest
@@josuepalomares6820 i know
@@kh2b573 I'm talking about the people who brush off the Amazon Forest Fire as nothing but "natural" and a "must".
Countrycowboy08 duh. Everyone knows that.
Also one thing you didn't mention:
In Australia lives a plant called the Banksia, named after Joseph Banks, one of Captain Cook's men. Their seeds are unable to burst open unless exposed to heat of wildfires, and cannot bloom for the same reason.
Who came after the Australian bushfires?
Thing is, The Amazon forest isn't filled with cone-bearing trees.
I fond it hilarious this was in my recommended right after i read about the Amazon fire
Wow! This is very smart thing from you
Thing is, rain forest isn't always wet. They get a dry season just like we do and fires do occur there. Some people do set them intentionally to cause more damage like they do here in the US
@@wildlandfirefighter5656 "in the us" thats because they have the cone bearing trees but the amazon doesnt
@@josuepalomares6820 You still dont understand it. I am a forest firefighter (wildland firefighter). Fires do occur in the rainforest. I worked with many puerto ricans whom have fires in their rain forest
Came here because of the devastating news regarding the 16-day forest fire in our dear Amazon forest. And the media didn't notify the public for almost 3 weeks. Sad news.
But the amazon doesn't naturally burn like californian forests. The trees are different, the weather more humid and the soil isn't as fertile, due to heavy rains. It's a man-made fire, in ecological and indigenous preservation parks, by the agrobusiness men to illegally create space for the soy and corn culture.
@@mulungu6478 I'm not sure and I can't trace back where I saw it, but I think I came across a post stating/warning people that a portion of the Amazon was going to be cleared out for exactly those agricultural purposes. It didn't happen yet during that time so it didn't reach a large audience (or no one really made a move and took the warning seriously). And I think it was partly because most of us were skeptical if it was really true and "they" were really going to go through with it because it was _the Amazon! They can't be serious!_ But I guess soy and corn truly are in large demand today that burning the Amazon was "necessary".
The cherry on top of it is that our president says environmental NGOs started the fire because of the cut in budgets to protect de Amazon rainforest..
@@mulungu6478 agree. And the president itself personally admitted that he wanted to burn Amazon forest.
Glicia Peclat wow thanks for spreading lies and misinformation on every comment
Who get recommendation after amazon forest fire?
Fishy
Pablo Limo What’s fishy?
Meee
@@DanksterPaws That everybody is getting this video in their recommended list (a 3-year-old video) just when there's a huge political debate about the Amazon fire
Pablo Limo How is that fishy? That’s just youtube giving you relevant information based on what you, and everyone else is watching

Fun fact. The ash created by these fires is also used as a natural super fertiliser for the next generation.

Easy, Chinese invented and the rest of Asia with their dirty things.
I'm addicted to this TED-ED videos!!
For example Giant Redwood Trees rely on fires as well. They are resitant to fire, up to a certain point of temperature, but the smaller trees burn away and create a good soil, free space and let sunlight reach the ground so that the GRT saplings can grow.
No, this doesn't apply to the Amazon fires. Note how at 3:50 they clearly reference BOREAL forests. A rainforest like the Amazon is a completely diferent ecosystem, not to mention the danger posed to the indigenous tribes.
why is it alive today if it's been burning since time long before humans even existed? by your logic there shouldn't be amazon rainforest today, it simply wouldn't exist
The transition into ground and phœnix is amazing 👌😄
This animation is so nice.... Need a tv show with this animation quality
Who could dislike this video?
They didn't dislike, how ever they have been watching the video upside down
+phani sai
maybe there's a group of people who have been on a two weeks marathon of watching videos on wildfire and they came to this one and got fed up with it ...
:D
I was thinking the same... would it be climate warming defenders?
jaile meireles
wait ... what?
+CeaoS sorry but did the video mentioned an explanation for the air pollution? I might be wrong but compared to the global warming caused by wildfires,are those advantages of wildfires worthy?
I love Ted ed so much! !!
Here after the woolsey fires. This is a very informative perspective on a chaotic situation. Thank you

_"there is no death . Only new beginnings"_
I love Ted-Ed and this video. But it was recommended to me while I was watching a video about what's happening in Australia. Maybe youtube should check on that
CZcams recommendations getting better!

I love the animation style here!
i love the art style in this one
A crucial piece of information is missed in this video, serotinous cones can fly up to 1-2 kilometers away from their original trees when they are triggered during forest fires. Allowing their parents to spread even further.
Cool Song, love It!
The light tone of voice and the wonderful animation made me much more interested :)
This makes me feel better about losing everything I own... and my family. Thanks Ted Ed!
@@johnperic6860 I'll make sure to tell Helen next time I visit her grave that "wildfires aren't inherently violent".
Animation is just too good and the way they ended the video by comparing it to phoenix was superb one
what kind of app do they did this video? It's so amazing!! I want to know what app because I maybe can use it to do my school project.. Ted ed really helps me a lot!
Wonderful . Thank you
We didn't start the fire!
It was always burning, since the world been turning!

No, we didn’t light it, but we’ve tried to fight it!
CZcams: *Recommends while the Amazon is burning down*
Me: hMmMmMmMmM
Not good for Amazon. This only work for coniferous trees, not tropical ones.
@@solar3013 yeah I know, it just seems kind of like a coincidence
Very timely recommendation
the animation is everything
My tree drops so many of those Serotinous Cones, I always thought they were Pine cones that dropped early.
I totally agree with this. What better way to take care of environment than a controlled burn? I realize some at least bird species do make their nests in dead trees, but those are also most flammable i believe
This was so interesting... 😊 thank u
thank you so much.
i love how irrational and rational the universe is
wait, i thought Prometheus gave fire to humans, not Zeus...
I love this channel
Nice metaphor at the end
How are the seeds not oven-roasted in those temperatures?
Harry Wu
-seeds have spread out before hot temperature sets in
-Seeds have seed coat which protects them
-Some do get burnt up
-Some seeds come from outside part of forest
In a crown fire, that is true. They would be totally consumed. The cones and seeds do not survive a stand-replacing, crown fires the seeds are not lofted into the air. This is an error in this presentation.
Serotinous cones need a ground fire to pop the seeds open. A ground fire burns the undergrowth and debris on the forest floor. The temperature at the crown/cone level reaches that magical temperature which pops the cones. After the relatively low intensity fire clears the undergrowth and the old debris, a new mineral rich soil is available for seeds. The heat from a ground fire also kills some of the upper needles allowing more sunlight through.
Overall a good presentation, but it has some errors in it.
3:30 that's what is happening now in Australia.
The lightning bolt on 0:19 made me jump haha. I had my ear buds in
I love you Ted-ed!!!
I'm here because of Amazon fire and I can now sleep in peace. Thank you
Me 2 😏
Don't worry about our home, we will disapear not the Earth. Btw we dont deserve this life.
Noooo
It's not the same type of forest! Tropical forests don't burn naturally!
Nope, were not sure whether amazon is same as the one i the video... It was just pine trees, amazon is stropical
It means everything have something positive 😊
Good information and animation. Although, I was surprised to hear the narrator say that Douglas fir was shade tolerant.
I Love You Ted-ed....
Earth: *on fire and on the verge of dying*
Humans: Why wildfires are necessary
Earth: Am I a joke to you?
The thing is, if there is no wildfire the trees become easier to burn, but that does not mean just let the whole forest burn, but controled fire
Australian Aboriginals were well known to be great caretakers of "their" local land, deliberately lighting fires to promote new growth and clear up "fire-fodder", and also to flush out the odd meal. Do you know what went wrong last year in Aus? Someone in Western Aus. dictated to officials in Victoria to produce a controlled burn, even when those officials stated the conditions were too dry, hot and windy. Major bush-fire resulted in loss of life, animals, livelihood, homes, etc. because of ONE man on the OTHER side of the country. He didn't personally know the area, or care about it either, or listen to those who did. Aboriginals did it better.
Congrats on 2,000,000 subs!!!!!!
Hi there, can I use part of the video content to be include in my video for my event purpose promotion video as well as create awareness
Natural forest fires are great, as showed in the video. What about human-caused ones, that extends for millions of miles?
aren't human-caused one's mostly fires caused by a campfire that hasn't been stomped out.
@@johnperic6860 you're right, no clue where I got that from
why am I watching this

learned a lot
@TED-Ed can i use this video for my topic in my assignment? I'll be citing this also to give credits, if its okay..
Who knows there are many jerks who use this excuse for burning more forest
Here watching the video while amazon is burning now
awesome as always
Thank you for helping me with my essay
youtube says there are 5 comments but never mind that, when is pokemon gonna give a grass type flashfire? apparently it's reasonable. i wonder if it'd be better or worst on mega venusaur, you regain the ice weakness but can do extra in the sun without worry
+bob vella also fierydance
How about the amazon
Jiraiya Sensei, sadly it doesn’t apply to this situation as this only works for pine forests which aren’t found in the Amazon which is tropical
Video worth sharing
great animation
Who is here after Australian bushfire?
Welp time to go help the forests >:)
VERY interesting
That pheonix at the end reminds of prof dumbledor and harry potter! ❤
i hope some people will realized that this thing published on feb 2 ,2016
doesn't the fire destroy the seeds which are popping out??
each pod releases hundreds of seeds so the hat the likelihood of one of those seeds surviving is high. But yes some seeds are burned in the fire
Master
ted, do some more riddles pls :p
that was a rlly good vid
really yt? recommend this now while Amazon is burning for weeks? 😅
It's trying to educate you
@@kullywon5471 The government sponsored this yt recommendation 😅
Emm no, the recommendation is thanks to people searching “forest fire” and this applies to Pine trees in the north not the tropical rainforest
I wonder why this video is recommended to everyone.....
I learned this a while back from a movie called The Future is Wild.
That show was awesome. We need a reboot.
Many, many more small fires needed to help prevent the catastrophic million acre+ ones. There is a huge backlog of wildfire fuel due to decades of fire suppression with overharvesting (logging) and heavy replanting, then very limited logging and continued fire suppression. In the summer, most forests are like giant piles of tinder these days, so great care must be taken with reintroducing fire.
Just remember this not apply to rain forests
So you’re telling me the fire in the Amazon is necessary? Lmao ok CZcams...
The Amazon forest is different with the one mention on the video
The video only applies to northern *coniferous* trees. Not tropical rainforests.
@@bananasaging9234 then maybe the title is a little misleading
