EU and Thuringia Fight Against Forest Fires
216
Forests burn more often in Europe. The year 2025 was very bad. Over 1 million Hektar of land burned. This is a very large area. The EU-Kommission made a new plan now. This plan should stop forest fires. A key part is nature protection. Healthy forests do not burn so fast. The EU wants to help countries with care. The danger is high in the South of Europe. But the risk also grows in Austria.
The situation in Th":"r"ingia is critical now. There was too little rain. The sun shines a lot. So forests can burn easily. The danger is very high in 8 areas in Th":"r"ingia. The Eger-Holz and the City Forest are examples. People must be very careful in the forest. A small spark can start a fire. Needle trees burn faster than leaf trees. This is because of their resin. The German Weather Service checks the danger every day.
Zoos also help with nature protection. The Schönbrunn Zoo takes part in a contest. It is about a small Chameleon. People can vote for the animal online. The Chameleon is only 6 centimeters small. It fights against animals from all over the world. Such activities are important for Arten-Schutz. People learn more about rare animals this way. The Zoo wants to save these animals from extinction.
