Driving through the desert outside of San Diego, my mother harvested chaparral “la gobernadora” and used it for many medicinal purposes. This was nostalgic…smelling the fragrant chaparral after a desert rain.

I disagree with him saying that chaparral takes 30 years to recover,the brush around my home was burned 10 years ago and now it’s 25 foot tall…..

Doesn’t sound honest. That’s not what long time fire managers decided. No land management agency could afford with personnel, equipment and resources. Fire management efforts are very limited and managed by professionals who like you claim love our environment. That’s why we chose the profession. You might have ostracized yourself from that community. You sound great though. Much great information but not entirely yet. Keep on exploring.

Great video. So much value in our Chaparral community. It’s management by first people’s a great lesson for our future, burning for resource values. Our wild land fire community taught ages old fire management practices from our first peoples and Spanish accounts. Sensitive wild land plant communities, 19:17 building practices on private lands that incorporate Firesafe/Firewise principles. A willingness to reduce fuel hazards to communities which includes non-native introduced plant 1769 ACE forward to 19:17 native interval burning for example in diegan coastal sage scrub for basketry for example. Studies needed include at what age should Chaparral be burned for increased water development in Chaparral communities adjacent to water sources for our greater communities. What value does old age chaparral have vs. younger chaparral reference species diversity. Wild land fire science has yet to catch up with the Wildland Firefighter. T. Porter, Calfire Fire Chief (Ret.), It’s the fuels. Bob Eisele Fire Behavior Analyst (Ret.) , as one who manages Preserved lands in my career and private life I find removal of dead fuels through removal and trimming leads to vigorous growth and reduced fire effects of our beautiful chaparral and oak community.

Activism is fine, but what people need to do, with immediate effect, is stop relying on fossil fuel consumption. Full stop.

You write poetry to help to work out the thoughts. Good job.

Art is activism!!! We need mor of this. Thank you for this beautiful poem

I think chaparral looks way better when you're on the trails rather than from the freeway, that's probably why people usually underestimate it

Hi Jack, great video/ content! Keep spreading awareness 🌱✨

And 20% of the world's biodiversity

I read a book about chapparal and one thing that stood out to me was the very small % of this habitat there is in the world

Interesting presentation. Thank you, Jack4thePlanet.

Maybe we should end political bribery.

Thanka homie, are you vegan?

viral potential

Great video. Thank you. By the way, the backround is gorgeous!

Way to go

I disagree when you said chaparall does not need fire but it adapted to it If there are no more fires, the manzanita seeds will not germinate naturally. they will go extinct. they need fire to reproduce

Love it!!

Good job brutha

What a great video. Thanks for the info!

Excellent video that I hope will be widely seen. I’ll pass it on. Keep doing what you’re doing and you will go far!

Thank you for your work in sueing the county. I can only hope mdlt can have the same success in the high desert. I don’t people realize how much land destruction is going on here

It is so fascinating at the California grizzly bear loved the chaparral. so different from the Alaskan grizzly Bear.

Such an important video! I live in Israel with a similar climates and relatively similar vegetation of chaparral, and people either calling it a desert or calling it forest 🤦🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️ and usually don’t care about it. From what I see people usually care about forests and knows about deserts, but no one knows to appreciate and identify the chaparral. Thank you very sweet for giving a bit from your knowledge. Such an important video.

We need to keep pressuring Biden to make the right decisions when it comes to climate change and the environment. If you want to learn more about the buildout of LNG sport terminals, here are some great articles: The New Yorker - “The Biden Administration’s Next Big Climate Decision” The Guardian - “‘Carbon mega bomb’: climate experts urge Biden to block gas export hub” Grist - “‘Death stars on sinking land’: How liquefied natural gas took over the Gulf Coast“

THIS VIDEO IS SO AWESOME. The Chaparral is home.

You guys make a great point that more people should be aware of, “It doesn’t need a purpose to humans to be important” NATURE IS NATURE!!!! I cannot believe someone would feel the need to burn something like this just for the looks ESPECIALLY in California. Are you crazy???

The information is really great, I want to criticize this constructive, I think that placing some shots from the park with the voice-over of the explanation by moments or to illustrate the ideas and facts you talk about

Hottest year in history, but only until next year.

Sounds like you have your priorities right. Do well in school. Allow me to give some advice, from someone who has done it all. Conventional education is important, but life experiences count for far more. We are going into a period of time when actions will count for more than words. Learn real skills, with practical application, like carpentry and engineering. I have an MS in Biology, I've done a lot of field work. But that work-for-hire is far less significant to me now than simply knowing how the natural and artificial worlds really work. While in school, I learned biological system theory and ecosystem analysis, rare at the time. While doing that, I picked up huge and marketable computer skills, at a time when coding was exploding in importance, and made a career later as a software engineer. I learned carpentry and home construction in my spare time, including electrical and plumbing. These are by far my most important skills today, this outcome was completely unexpected. Expect the unexpected, for that will shortly come to dominate the human experience. We are in a terrible place. Seriously, whatever anyone tells you about the risks, they cannot say enough. The situation cannot continue, nor will it. Things will break. Nothing you and I know today, or take as permanent and sacred, will endure past a few more years. So learn everything you can about resilience, change management, communications, and Medieval history. I'm serious about that latter. Take a summer internship on a working farm, if you can. Learn about animals, domestic and otherwise. Install solar panels. Learn to work metal, including how to weld. Learn to work with wood, then craft a wooden wheel. Indeed, I have made many. There is so much to learn, and the time is short, but everything you master in the coming years will give you confidence as the current civilization unwinds, as it must. We are going back now. It will be scary and exciting, but we are going there whether we like it or not. I've enjoyed your content. Especially given how young you are. You remind me of my son, who is maybe five years older than you. Looking forward to hearing about your next adventure. You have no obligation to come back here and inform us what you are doing. You have every obligation to expose yourself to as many new things as you can, and to do as well as you can at all you do. Meet new people. Trust, but don't become vulnerable. Take pleasure in the moments. Make important memories. Embrace the unknown, for you and I are going there. Stay fearless. Good luck. -- Cougar.

1200 yrs, i think not you tool

Super interesting video, great analysis thank you!

A change in CO² from 3ppm to 4ppm is a 33%change. Today we are at 4.25ppm of CO².

Climate change climate change climate change. Where were you in 1990 when Las Vegas didn't have anything but the strip and desert hills? Since then, I have seen this town grow so fast with so many building projects, hotels, and lavish golf courses. Not to mention the man made lakes for ducks at newly developed neighborhoods. Google map Las Vegas and you will see plenty of swimming pools in the backyards of the affluent. Rules for you but not for me. The water consumption had gone mad here. But let's blame climate change not man's thirst for property values and tax revenue.

I grew up and have lived in and around this biome my whole life, and am just now coming to respect its unique beauty.

You are wrong about stopping fossil fuels stopping climate change. We are already in a feedback loop that could take hundreds of years to slow down. 90% of the excess heat is in the oceans. We are suffering now from what we did 30 years ago. Might be time to start becoming a doomer. In any event, our race is only going to continue to increase the contamination. we are decades from any type of international cooperation.

Thanks for doing this video.

Nice work. Much love from Riverside!

Well made video! Learned a ton! I could listen to Rick talk for hours.

I had always thought prescribed fire was good for the chaparral… thanks for evolving my perspective.

This video is so informative! I'm going to use it in my class this week - I was looking for resources to explore the impact of the recent rain/snow and it's long term effects. This is perfect! Well done Jack!

And for those of you who think this isn’t climate change because it snowed a lot, it’s climate change. All of the science points to an increased severity of storms being a symptom of climate change. And remember, this is a global phenomenon. It was a harsher winter than usual in the Western US, but a very mild winter in the Northeastern US, and the second-mildest winter on record in Europe.

Great video. Thank you for sharing your knowledge about the project. What is the name of the pedition to stop the project?

This is such an informative video :)
