Fires have a significant impact on the wild, leading to an increase in mortality and injuries. They also cause animal displacement, pollution and violations of ecosystems.

In Spain, Portugal and Greece, volunteers and associations offer shelter and veterinary assistance to animals affected by fires.

“Some turtles were burned, and now they need treatment. So, we helped to move these animals, move to where they can get treatment and adapt to the shelter ”, Noah Horton, Director for the Development of Big Charitable Charitable Organizations, says Euronews.

Volunteers take homeless dogs and cats that were injured in order to find them a permanent house. The problem also has an economic dimension.

The fire burned out a lot of hives, so organizations plan to plant new bee colonies to support the restoration of beekeeping.

“There were many beekeepers and apians affected by these fires. Many hives were burned, lost and destroyed. This, of course, is the income of people and, of course, affects the production of honey. Bees give a struggle because their food, the plants that they eat were also burned ” Noa Horton says in Euronex.

In 2022, 43% of the Earth burned in the EU. They were natural protected areas Natura 2000, which are biodiversity tanks.
