California Forest Fire

I believe most of us known about the California fires, which was noticed on many networks a week ago. According to a report from bbc.com, it said, “17 wildfires in nine counties have burned more than 115,000 acres in just the past 12 hours.” The data is reported in the past 12 hours, which means the damage is going to be larger, and there is no signal to show the fire will stop spreading out. By just looking at the cost it has created, I suddenly wonder did we actually consider the wildfires as a disaster? Well, I think we have not. In my opinion, besides water, the forest is the most critical part that we need to protect our planet. It is easy to understand since the forest is the homeland of many creatures, via the condition of a jungle we can have a guess about the biodiversity of that area.
Let’s get back to the wildfires. Apparently, fire destroys a large area of forest and any houses that close to the forest. As a result, these people lost their homes, and animals lost their lives, ecological imbalance, trees, and plants burned down, which cause the animals live there no longer have food to eat. When the forest has fewer trees and plants, it produces less oxygen. Therefore, we will have less clean air to breathe. Furthermore, as large amounts of smoke are released into the air, it causes air pollution, and difficult for us to breathe. Besides, smoke and ash can cause serious health problems for people, such as damage the throat, and the lungs. We also face the loss of animals, which might create extinction for some animals and other creatures in the forest. Naturally, the wildfires are happened because of hot, and dry weathers make the forest more likely to burn. As it starts to burn, we can not recognize it until it becomes big. Therefore, we will not be able to extinguish it in time. And if there is a strong wind at this time, it will make the fire spread
