In recent years, the number of large forest fires occurring worldwide. The UN Food and Agriculture Organization FAO demands to change the methods of fighting forest fires. [[T][4]

Deutsche Welle Turkey's news based on the UN Food and Agriculture Organization, followed by anxiety. The ratio of large diameter fires has been increasing for years. Brazil, Indonesia, Australia, Russia, Greece, Bostvana or U.S., large fires occur in all these countries.

There are different causes of woods. For example, as in Brazil, it’s about burning forests to open space. The remaining destroyed surfaces are very irresistible against new fires. Other pedestrians have climate change that leads to the life of continuous rainy periods. This is the main reason for fires in North Siberia, Canada and many more countries. Of course, poor protection of forests is also an important reason. It is noted that severe fires in large and interconnected forestry areas such as the US, Australia, Portugal, Spain or Greece are inevitable. Eduardo Rojas, Director of the Department of Forest Works of the UN Food and Agriculture Organization, noted that in particular, a structural problem in these regions.

Rojas can fire anywhere with the “Plant cover. This means we should not adjust ourselves to risks. Secondly, in the areas where structurally arises, a logical land planning should be done. That means we need to minimize risk factors. Electrical power plants, transportation roads and waste zones are separated in accordance with each other. In addition, on very wide surfaces, there are no tree-free forest paths, the forest spoke in the form of the spread until they can not fight.

On the other hand, it is also recommended that forests are controlled and professionally burned during the rainy periods of the year to greatly reduce the available substances to the combustion. Rojas reminds a former tradition here: “The Redderians in the U.S., Australian native aborigins or the traditionally controlled fires of Mediterranean people were logical and necessary to do again. This is prohibited in most countries. How to do something like human, ’ How to fight fire against fire? But the forestry areas are the cheapest and only ecological possibilities to make fire resistant. “

By the way, a thought change across the world is also noticeable. 20 years ago, especially when investing in technical vehicles in the fight against fire, today it is important to prevent fires and to develop forest-arazi management.
The things that can be done does not end with it. Forest and fire-fighting experts are largely in the same idea about mandatory special measures, politically responsibles, especially because of public pressure, often do not act constructive in large fires.

They are very quickly allocated fire fighting aircraft and helicopters to prove they show. If pre-existing measures and correct planning are more logical, more convenient and effective, it is often overlooked.
