I've been thinking about the whole "fire as a natural and often helpful force in nature". Although I agree with this philosophy in many ways, I would put forth that the preexisting loss of habitat disproportionately increases the importance of these areas to the animals dependant upon them. I also feel that, in some instances, the profound effect of the booming populations of people in these areas will make it harder for these areas to recover. These are the cases that might benefit from outside intervention from people that have knowledge about what it takes to restore the area to an effective environment.
I'm just sayin'....
