Revealed the cause of serious fires in Europe

Europe has experienced one of the most devastating wildfire seasons. Reuters reports. In Spain, France and Greece, the fire destroyed 699,000 hectares, an area four times the size of London.

Experts attribute the disaster not only to climate change, but also to the desolation of rural areas. Millions of people moved to cities, fields overgrown with shrubs and trees.

Solid vegetation became fuel for megafires. In Spain, forest cover inside the biggest fire zone has risen 54 percent in three decades. The fire came close to Madrid.

The authorities admit that there are not enough funds for prevention, most of the budget goes to extinguishing. Small landowners cannot afford to clear land.
