Listen Later

Every wildfire season seems to be getting more intense than the last but today’s guest is here to tell us that wildfires actually have a good side. Today on Found, we’re joined by Allison Wolff, the co-founder and CEO of Vibrant Planet, a cloud-based planning and monitoring tool for adaptive land management. Wolff discusses why the wildfires we’re seeing today are hotter and spreading more quickly than we can contain and how proper land management can help create the environment needed for the lower, slower burning fires forrest need. 

They also talked about:

  • How Wolff’s previous experience working with leaders at tech giants like Facebook and Netflix helped shape her leadership style
  • The importance of working with indigenous groups to learn how people have been managing the land for centuries
  • The key role AI places when it comes to monitoring land management and creating adaptive planning
