Slide 3
I think that the largest cause of wildfires is Natural Activities. I think this because in Australia, the weather is very warm and combined with the droughts and the amount of dry land, wildfires are much more common. However, I do think that humans play a large role in wildfires by lighting illegal fires and not putting out their cigarettes and naked flames.
