  abstract = {{R}ecent work has suggested fire suppression can be used to "restore" {C}entral {A}frican savannas, increasing their biodiversity and capacity to sequester



carbon. {H}ere, we rebut this proposal, by showing that {C}entral {A}frica's savannas are ancient, biodiverse, and fire-dependent ecosystems.



{S}uppressing fire within them would permanently harm these savanna's biodiversity and degrade their functionality, likely without storing much



carbon long term.},
