Wildfires are awful

Amazon rainforest has been degraded by fires since 2001, affecting the habitats of all
threatened species in this region, including white-cheeked howler monkeys, giant anteaters
and hoatzin birds. From 2019 until now, the Amazon rainforest has been destroyed by a
succession of fires of varying magnitude. This condition persists, has a major impact on the
Earth's green lungs, endangers the rich ecology, and has unforeseeable environmental
implications. Wildfires are awful because forest fires damage, destroy, charre trees and soils,
destroy the food source and homes of many animals. Also smokes’ wildfires affect our
health.
Wildfires damage and destroy trees. When fires burn too intensely and reach tree
crowns, they can hurt even strong, well-established trees. Moreover, plants on the forest floor
or smaller trees are often destroyed by wildfires, while larger trees are able to survive as long
as the fire does not spread into the tree canopy. In addition, some trees are killed immediately
by fire but others die up to several years later. Furthermore, fire-injured trees are more
susceptible to other stressors, such as beetle attack and drought.Wildfires charred and
damaged soils. Floods or landslides in areas where the soil is most severely burned.
Breakdown in the soil structure, reduced moisture retention and capacity and development of
water repellency. Also, wildfires can burn away ground cover and vegetation across the
landscape, leaving soils exposed and easily erodible by precipitation. Instead of the rain
soaking into the soil, rainwater and melted snow can rush across these hardened surfaces,
gaining enough power to erode loose sediments.
Wildfires release carbon dioxide and other pollutants into the atmosphere, exacerbating
global warming, and in severe cases, irreparably damaging forest ecosystems. The resulting
smoke and haze can travel miles, creating public health crises as people breathe in unhealthy
levels of pollutants. Inhaling wildfires smoke can cause throat irritation, wheezing, sneezing,
coughing, runny nose, congestion, chest discomfort, eye irritation and shortness of breath all
triggered by the tiny particles in the smoke.
I argue that wildfire can be deadly, because the general public tends to view fires as an
emergency, a situation requiring immediate action. Community leaders are often compelled
to act in order to avoid panic. Harnessing technology to spot and prevent fires could save not
only wild habitats and native species , but also prevent fat altities and save billions of dollars
in clean-up and rebuilding. Better land and forest management along with improved house
building plans, using fire-resistants designs and material and controlled burns to remove
wildfire fuel, are essential measures.
People donated money or decided to make a technology to spot and prevent fires.
Wildfire organizations already use motion-detection cameras to identify fires before they
grow is a logical step.The ongoing wildfires so we should take measures to overcome forest
fires such as report unattended fires, extinguish fire pits and campfires when done. Moreguer,
don't throw lit cigarettes out of your car or on the ground, use caution when using flammable
liquids. Furthermore, pay attention to local ordinances for trash burning, pay attention to the
richness of forest fires in your area.
