The critical clue for Sanei was a naturally occurring material called inertinite, a stable form of organic carbon in Earth’s crust, formed when wildfires char forests and the burned vegetation fossilizes.

The animals, meanwhile, depend on our evolutionary siblings: we either eat vegetation or something else that does, and thus generate our own energy by consuming theirs.

Vizzachero carried out legally required efforts to see how projects, including prescribed burning and vegetation clearance, would affect the brown owls with white spots and other species of concern.
