Jasper is but the latest example of the destruction caused by the intersection of a range of human decisions. We build in nature's backyard when fires are an essential part of the ecosystem. We hack the biodiversity of forests to achieve higher yields of profitable species, defeating nature's defence systems agains disease, rot and regulating healthy ecosystems. We choose not to employ known mitigation measures including significant firebreaks, building code regulations, active fuel management near the wild-urban interface and maintain insufficient resources to protect societal value.
These are all human decisions, concisions ones, often made in isolation but collectively, they create an environment where societies lose exceptional value.
We choose not to act, so we lose everything.
We know that the leadership doesn't exist to make the policy changes necessary to mitigate against human decisions, so why not try something new.
If we continue with the status quo, the tally of Jaspers will continue to increase.
