Fire and its impacts on biodiversity and natural resources has been an important focus of attention within protected areas and their management. However, protected areas are directly dependent on social-ecological processes beyond their boundaries for their long-term ecological viability, including fire. In this review, we put forward a case for greater understanding of what determines people’s use (and abuse) of fire and management solutions they choose to practice in the wider landscape surrounding protected areas. Our contention is that only through multidisciplinary research that looks at why and how people burn and the local realities of fire management can we have a better chance at more effective fire control and use. Furthermore, only through participatory approaches focusing on adaptive learning by all stakeholders will real change occur.
