Expert on efforts to tackle raging European fires

Major wildfires in Europe are starting earlier in the year, becoming more frequent, doing more damage and getting harder to stop and scientists said they're probably going to get worse as climate change intensifies unless countermeasures are taken.
A mass migration of Europeans from the countryside to cities in recent decades has left neglected woodland at the mercy of the droughts and heat waves that are increasingly common amid global warming.
According to the statistics, the amount of burned European countryside has more than tripled this year. Head of the Global Fire Monitoring Center, an advisory body to the United Nations said woodland is littered with combustible material and he recommended the study of tree species that have proven to resist climate stress.
