One photo created a round in Greece. As the forest fire approaches, the man is captured on a motorcycle that evacuates the sheep. The scene took place last week in Patras, a Greek port city, with a fire grip.
Fires have a major impact on wildlife, leading to increased mortality and injuries. It also causes animal migration, habitat loss, pollution and ecosystem destruction. This situation encourages residents and groups to act with the help of affected herds, wildlife and livestock.
In the town of Patras in Greece, one association helps animals, providing shelter and veterinary care.
“Some turtles suffer from burns and now need treatment. So we can help these animals move, move them to places where they can be treated and get them back in the sanctuary.”
Other charities have also been threatened with dogs and cats being threatened by fires and are threatened until a permanent home is found for them.
The problem is also economical. According to Greater Good Charity, many bee hives are lost in the fire, requiring planting of new colonies of bees to help beekeeping recover.
“Many beekeepers and beekeepers are affected by these fires. The hives have burned, lost and destroyed. It’s a livelihood for people and has an impact on things like honey production,” Horton says.
“The bees are in trouble because the feed plants they eat have also burned out,” he adds.
In 2022, 43% of the EU burned areas were conserved areas in the Natura 2000, a biodiversity reservoir.
