Why would they advise to plant more trees yet they are not protecting the ones that were planted before?
Is this crazy?

Indonesia’s unique rainforests are home to peatland ecosystems that should be naturally resilient to fire when water tables remain high.

💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🔥🌲 More than 75% of #US #wildfires are started by people, through negligence, downed power lines, or arson, according to federal #data.

The growing wildland-urban interface turns more of us into ignition sources, while #climatechange dries out fuels and extends #fire season. It grounds the pattern in the #Spokane Old Trails Fire and the arrest of a man accused of setting dozens of blazes.

Burnt moorland

Derbyshire, UK
Burnt ground at Tintwistle Moor in Glossop. One of England’s largest wildfires in recent years began on 24 June and burned an estimated 606 hectares (1,497 acres) of moorland and woodland. The fire, which was declared a major incident on 13 July, burned for more than six weeks before being brought under control.
