“Black”, in addition to the pandemic, was also for the environment in 2021 … According to the meteo of the National Observatory of Athens, 2021 is classified as by far the worst year of the last 13 years in terms of the total burned area of our country .
In particular, based on the data of the European Forest Fire Information System, during 2021, 84 forest fire incidents were mapped in Greece, which burned a total area of more than 1,300,000 acres. This “performance” is the worst of the period 2008-2021, with the total burned area in 2021 approaching the sum of the burned areas of the eight years 2013-2020.
In 2021, the manual performance was also recorded in terms of the average burned area per forest fire in our country, with this index being estimated at over 1,500 acres per event, when during the previous 13 years (2008 – 2020) o corresponding average was close to 500 acres per event.
With the 2022 firefighting season starting in five months, meteo stresses the need to review practices in the field of prevention and preparation for forest fires.
