Here's what to know about the science behind wildfires

Wildfires, once a natural part of forest ecosystems that help clear dead vegetation and recycle nutrients, are now intensifying to levels that overwhelm forest resilience. Experts highlight a worrying trend of more severe wildfires due to climate change, leading to unprecedented destruction and long-lasting environmental damage. Understanding the science behind these fires is crucial as it sheds light on the urgent need for better management strategies and climate action to mitigate their devastating impacts.
