In the third episode of the On (Wild)fire Podcast (opens in a new tab), CTrees CEO and co-founder Sassan Saatchi sits down with host Mark Moroge, vice president of forests at Environmental Defense Fund (EDF), to discuss the changing fire regime in the Amazon rainforest.

Drawing on decades of research in the tropics, Saatchi describes how record-breaking droughts and climate events like El Niño are radically changing fire dynamics in the region—creating feedback loops that impede forest recovery and significantly increase fire-driven carbon emissions.

Saatchi also shares CTrees' work to combine advanced satellite technology, radar data, and AI to build predictive models that inform wildfire mitigation and boost forest resilience.
