ecology: keeping our precious parks safe

In 2007, much of California’s forests along with vast numbers of birds and animals were destroyed in devastating wild fires. Like so many other disasters around the world, this fire was started by cooking on an open camp fire.

In Australia, a unique predator’s survival was threatened by campers building camp fires. They gathered loose sticks and leaves from its habitat and broke a fragile food chain. Without the leaf litter there were no insects for that small predator to feed on.

In other regions around the world, the continuous dumping of camp fire coals and open BBQs has left many pristine natural environments permanently scarred and damaged.

These environmental issues, and many more, create massive problems for park managers. Not only must they protect the flora and fauna, they must also find funds and manpower to constantly clean up these cooking sites.

Christie’s developed the ‘Parksafe’ BBQ to address these very real threats to parks and nature reserves all around the world.

A Christie Parksafe BBQ is fully enclosed and self-contained with no exposed flames or sparks.

The hotplate cooks food perfectly. There’s no need to gather fuel to burn. There’s no need to dump coals or hot embers after cooking. Cleaning is simple so our precious natural environments remain protected for future generations to enjoy.
