These costs range from loss of water and air quality, wildlife habitat and genetic diversity to the degradation of aesthetic values of landscapes.
Consequently, with the growth of the pan-indian movement in the 1960s and the 1970s, concepts of the seven fires prophecy merged with other similar prophetical teaching found among indigenous peoples of north america forming a unified environmental, political, and socio-economic voice towards canada and the united states.
In the first years after a major fire, new vistas appear while the lush growth of new, young trees emerges from the burned ground. Today, decades after the 1988 fires, those young trees are renewed forests, once again filling in vistas. Some visitors still feel the yellowstone they knew and loved is gone forever.

It directly impacted four counties: park, jefferson, dou-glas, and teller. Some of the immediate impacts that are relatively easy to tally up include the destruction.
In this and many other ways, fires dramatically altered the habitat and food production of yellowstone for the short term. The fires of 1988 created a landscape of burns, partial burns, and unburned areas—called a mosaic. A mosaic provides natural firebreaks and sustains a greater variety of plant and animal species.

The effects of these large wildfires on biodiversity and other natural resources are yet to be fully assessed.

The effects and economic impact of corrosion corrosion is a natural process. Just like water flows to the lowest level, all natural processes tend toward the lowest possible energy states. Thus, for example, iron and steel have a natural tendency to com-bine with other chemical elements to return to their lowest energy states.
The natural cycle of wildland fire plays an important role for maintaining the ecological health of the landscape. Yet, the emission and atmospheric transport of combustion products from wildland fire, namely smoke represents a costly and growing global public health problem impacting vulnerable communities, and individuals who are more sensitive to the adverse health effects of smoke exposure.
