“Everyone must do their part, and everyone from their own means and all of us together must – before events and disasters catch up with us – guard this wealth” said Mr. Zervas and noted that in the one and a half month of danger remaining, evil can happen at any time.
The mayor of Thessaloniki, Konstantinos Zervas, appealed to everyone for the protection of the peri-urban forest of Thessaloniki, speaking to the municipal council. “Our mind is on the fire fronts again this year” he said characteristically, while referring to the forest of Sheikh Sou he emphasized that, together with the Thermaic Gulf, it affects the climate of the city, which is why it should be preserved and protected.
“I appeal to everyone, the agencies, the neighboring municipalities, on the occasion of an almost arson a few days ago, a few hours ago, an accident that happened last year at the beginning of the summer which fortunately we caught very quickly and isolated it, all together to preserve your Sheikh, to protect the most precious thing we have next to us, even though the Municipality of Thessaloniki has a very small part of it. Everyone must do their part, and each from their own means and all together must – before events and disasters catch up with us – guard this wealth” he said and noted that in the remaining month and a half of danger, evil can happen at any time.
Mr. Zervas also emphasized that alongside the patrols in the forest and possible traffic bans, a systematic information campaign is also necessary. “I have the impression that, even today with what is happening and what we see happening in other areas of our country and our planet, some people are not convinced not to light fires but instead throw cigarettes or do anything that can cause danger in the forest” he said . He assured, finally, that the municipality is doing what it is responsible for.
