As is shown in the article by Krit Samapuddhi of Thailand (page 20) and the report from the Philippines by Rifat Alwi (page 22), agri-silvicultural methods - taungya and its variations-are providing viable working alternatives to uncontrolled slash-and-burn agriculture.
Some are burned intentionally for land conversion, pasture renewal or hazard reduction, or wildlife habitat improvement, but most are burned by uncontrolled wildfire.
Partnering with them, our research focuses on identifying the best adaptation strategies (e.g. wearing masks, air conditioning, assessing the relative medical harm associated with controlled burns versus uncontrolled wildfires, etc). that could protect people from these hazardous conditions.
The fires burned largely uncontrolled for several hours because firefighters would not enter the dormitories until prison guards could herd the inmates into a nearby baseball field for a head count.
Controlled burns would quickly become uncontrolled if they were allowed to burn with the intensity that many tree and plant communities need for proper regeneration.
However, these responses may yield to extensive inflammatory effect which triggers an uncontrolled synthetic process, as seen in burns.
We avoided the high-cash burn-rate syndromes and uncontrolled hiring sprees, we had a strong financial matrix and assets.
Firstly, there is the concern that natural forests are degraded through clearing for slash-and-burn traditional agriculture, charcoal production, uncontrolled timber-harvesting, and clearing for commercial agriculture, forestry, infrastructure development and mining (FAO 2003; Palm et al. 2005).
More than three decades ago, Congress banned American industries and localities from disposing of hazardous waste in these sorts of "open burns,'' concluding that such uncontrolled processes created potentially unacceptable health and environmental hazards.
One of the major obstacles in the treatment of severe electrical burns is properly handling the resulting uncontrolled inflammation.
The most of these wastes are used as animal feed or burned as alternative for elimination, which generates uncontrolled emissions, while also wasting a potential energy resource.
