SIERRA BERMEJA FIRES: WWF RESPONDS

The World Wildlife Fund (WWF) has demanded radical change to stop forest fires such as the recent Sierra Bermeja tragedy (which took the life of a firefighter). Climate change is accelerating and intensifying wildfires more rapidly than expected and we aren’t currently prepared to deal with their effects. The Sierra Bermeja fires forced 3,000 people from six municipalities to leave their homes or confine themselves within their dwellings. The WWF recommends various measures – including restoring affected areas, fostering the natural regeneration of local flora, and adapting the land so that future fires are contained. i www.wwf.es
