Cross Border Fire Management Strategy, KNP and LNP

Comparing two fire management strategies in the GLTP: creating the foundations for a fire management system in the LNP.

Objectives:

Aim: reconstruct the fire history (from 2000 onwards) for LNP and contrasting it with KNP as a basis to establish a FM system in the area.
 
Specific objectives:
(1)To determine the fire regime characteristics for the two parks;

(2) To determine the consequences on biodiversity and resources for the two fire management strategies;

(3) Provide an operational FM strategy for LNP;  and

4) Discuss the implications of these comparisons to both LNP and KNP fire management systems?
