Les incendies sont un élément normal et important de l’écosystème de la forêt boréale. La flore et la faune nordiques se sont adaptées au cycle de la destruction par le feu et de la repousse, et, depuis des milliers d’années, les caribous de la toundra composent avec les répercussions des feux de forêt sur leur aire d’hivernage.

Chaque année, le ministère de l’Environnement et des Ressources naturelles (MERN) effectue en priorité des relevés aériens des forêts d’épinettes matures, surtout parce qu’il s’agit d’un hôte privilégié par le ravageur qui cause le plus de dommages aux TNO, à savoir la tordeuse des bourgeons de l’épinette (Choristoneura fumiferana).

Fire is a natural and important part of the boreal forest ecosystem. Northern plants and animals have adapted to the cycles of fire and regrowth, and barren-ground caribou have co-existed with the effects of forest fires on their winter range for thousands of years.
