Wildfires are increasing due to climate change and human activities. Climate change is causing higher temperatures, droughts, and strong winds which dry out forests making them more flammable. Additionally, over 80% of forest fires are caused by human activities such as barbecuing, arson, or debris burning. To reduce wildfires, it is important to take preventative measures like cleaning dead vegetation, increasing fire safety awareness, and enforcing rules to limit human activities in forests during dry seasons. Public education is also key to increasing awareness of how to protect forests from fires.

Hello everybody. My name is Huy. Today, I will talk about wildfires.
We know that forests are
one of the most important resources on our Earth. But nowadays, The number of trees in the forest has decreased due to forest fires. So what is the cause and solution to this problem, we will find out now. First, What are wildfires? A wildfire is an uncontrolled fire caused by nature or human activities in a forest or rural area. There are three factors that cause wildfires: oxygen, fuel, and high temperature. Wildfires often occur in hot and dry climates. So why do forest fires happen? Firstly, it is because of global warming, climate change has become more dramatic. Climate change causes high temperatures, droughts and strong winds in the summer. The dry season is long, so forest fires are happening more and more and recently on a larger scale. Climate change leads to higher temperatures and heat waves that reduce precipitation due to faster evaporation. Soil gets hotter quickly, so water evaporates faster from the soil. The air takes moisture from the soil, the soil is too dry to be drought. Dry vegetation easily becomes fuel and leads to forest fires. Climate change is one of the causes of the increase in forest fires, but forest fires are caused by nature and human activities. Human activity is the main cause. More than 80% of forest fires are caused by careless or intentional actions of people, for example, holding a barbecue in the forest, burning cigarettes, setting off fireworks, arson, burning debris, bonfires... These activities ignite a small fire and then the tree or grass catches fire and turns into a large fire. Sometimes both an accident and a human action happen at the same time, such as an animal touching an electric pole and sparking them, or some falling tree branches touching electronic objects and sparking them. sparks out. So, what is the solution to effectively reduce wildfires? The first is to take actions to reduce the trigger of fires: Clean up dead branches, rotting plants, check the temperature range daily for appropriate notifications. Next is to set out rules for people or tourists if they want to enter the forest: No smoking, no burning or creating fire... However, the measures will be useless if people don't mean it. awareness in forest protection. It can be said that this is a decisive factor for the ability to reduce forest fires. We will start with measures such as propagating regulations on forest fire protection and mitigation, then we can proceed with penalties according to regulations... Although we can't mention all the mitigation measures. forest fires but I think those are measures that we can do easily, regularly and still bring positive effects. through which we can conserve this incredibly valuable resource
