WILDFIRES SCAR LANDSCAPES, LEAVING BEHIND A HAUNTING THREAT OF MUD AND ROCK
Wildfires make land unstable, leading to mudslides and rock flows when it rains. This affects homes and roads near burned forests.

After wildfires, rain can cause dangerous mudslides. This is a bigger problem now because wildfires are happening more often.

@atomicker
Was wondering why Japan's firefighting efforts were limited to helicopters with water buckets. Seems they trialled a converted PS-1 flying boat as well as a Canadian CL-215 in the 1970s, but cost-performance and proximity of dwellings to Japan's forests proved to be barriers to adoption.

Also, seems forest fires in Japan were caused mainly by careless people, so education and penalties might be the first line in fire prevention.

Is it possible to design and use drones for forest fire fighting? There's the lake for water, there's the fire to drop it. #forestfires #drones

India's Parliament panel ask @moefcc to develop a protocol for extinguishing #ForestFires, particularly in the #Himalayan #region.The Committee has noted that the occurrence of forest fires become increasingly frequent and has a devastating impact on the #forests, #biodiversity, and #wildlife. Committee believes that it is essential not only to minimize these incidents but also to develop a protocol for extinguishing forest fires, particularly in the #Himalayan region.

Two major fires tore through Argentina’s Chubut province in early January, threatening Los Alerces National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
At least 21,000 hectares of forest and grassland have burned, putting ancient alerce trees at risk amid concerns that budget cuts and staff shortages weakened fire prevention and response.

🔥 THE FUTURE OF FORESTS IS ON THE LINE 🔥
Brazilian artivist Mundano just revealed a message written with ashes inside the COP30 venue.
These are real ashes collected in the Amazon, on Anambé Indigenous land, after devastating fires.
A reminder of what is already being lost, and a warning to world leaders in Belém: the future is burning.

Brazil’s Cerrado savanna has experienced its worst fire season on record, but a tiny Indigenous territory here has for four years now kept the flames at bay.
The volunteer brigade made up largely of Bakairi Indigenous women has been instrumental in preventing major fires from devastating the Santana Indigenous Territory in Mato Grosso state.

"From Australia to the Amazon: How climate change is turning forests into firestorms
Last year, an area larger than India was lost to wildfires worldwide.
Wildfires are becoming more frequent, larger and more destructive across the globe, and climate change has been identified as a key reason for the escalation.
The second annual State of Wildfires report, published by researchers at the University of Melbourne this week, reveals that between March 2024 and February 2025, 3.7 million square kilometres and 100 million people were affected by wildfires worldwide.
That amounts to an area larger than India and puts a staggering €183 billion worth of homes and infrastructure at risk.
The report says that climate change is not just creating more dangerous fire-prone weather but is also affecting how vegetation grows and dries, providing more fuel for fires."

Spain is having its largest wildfire year in well over a decade.
The Global Wildfire Information System (GWIS) has published weekly data on the area burned by wildfires since 2012.
At the beginning of August, Spain was on track for a relatively low year. Its running total for 2025 was below the average and far below former records.
But just two weeks later, it had overtaken all of these previous years.

#ClimateChange Is Making #Fire #Weather Worse for World’s #Forests
#ForestFires are on the rise globally. An increase in severe #fireweather is largely responsible.
“Climate change is loading the dice for extreme #fireseasons like we’ve seen,” said John Abatzoglou, a #climate #scientist at U of Cal Merced. “There are going to be more fires like this.”
Area of forest lost to fire 2023-2024 was at least 2x greater than in previous nearly two decades.
