D、 The national park has used controlled burning as a management tool for thousands of years.
E、 After the fire whipping an area, the renewed fresh grass will draw animals like wallabies moving to this outstandingly defined area.

【正确答案】 A、E

【答案解析】Controlled burning is practiced by the national park in consultation with traditional owners who have used fire as a land management tool for thousands of years. Fire is an important hunting tool for Aboriginal people using it to flush out prey. The other benefit is that once the fire has gone through an area the tender shoots of the fast regenerating grasses attract wallabies into a clearly defined area. Birds of prey such as Whistling Kites also rely on fire to flush out small animals and are usually found in large numbers circling a fire front. Aboriginal people understand that fire is necessary to “dean up” the landscape and believe that many small fires are preferable to one large fire.
