Vast stretches of vegetation, once vital for maintaining ecological and climate balance, have now gone up in smoke.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Environmental engineer Sabah Attar, deputy director at the Agricultural Institute at the University of Aleppo, told <\/span><b>+963<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that \u201cforest fires in Syria have caused severe environmental damage, destroying biodiversity by burning large swaths of forest, wiping out natural habitats for countless species, stripping vegetation cover, boosting greenhouse gas emissions, degrading air quality, and disrupting water resources.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">She adds: \u201cThese fires release huge amounts of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases, worsening climate change. They also produce vast quantities of smoke and pollutants that threaten air quality and the health of both humans and animals.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to Attar, the ongoing changes brought by these fires may lead to permanent shifts in the region\u2019s plant makeup, potentially transforming the entire ecosystem.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As for the causes, Attar explains: \u201cClimate change, rising temperatures, and longer droughts make forests more vulnerable to ignition. Add to these certain human behaviors, such as deliberate arson or negligence; like throwing lit cigarette butts or burning crop residues and fields.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Read also: <a href=\"https:\/\/963media.com\/en\/01\/07\/2025\/how-greenhouse-gases-have-redrawn-syrias-climate-map\/#\">How Greenhouse Gases Have Redrawn Syria\u2019s Climate Map<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>Development Plans<\/b><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Earlier last week, Syria\u2019s Minister of Emergency Raed Al-Saleh stated on <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">X<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that \u201chundreds of thousands of trees covering around 10,000 hectares at 28 sites have turned to ash because of these fires,\u201d noting that 80 teams from civil defense, the emergency ministry, and the disaster management agency are making intensive efforts to contain the blazes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To mitigate the damage and prevent future disasters, Dr. Ahmad Al-Sheikh Qaddour, professor at the Faculty of Agriculture, University of Aleppo, says, \u201cIt\u2019s crucial to establish forecasting centers to assess wildfire risks and build firebreaks to isolate forests from populated areas and prevent large-scale destruction of vegetation.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He tells <\/span><b>+963<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: \u201cEffective solutions include planting tree species that are fire-resistant, some plants don\u2019t ignite easily, even in extreme heat. We could also set up nurseries to grow seedlings that help rehabilitate rangelands and reforest damaged areas using diverse plant systems &#8211; like cypress, oak, and Atlas pistachio &#8211; alongside drought and poor-soil-tolerant plants like Wormwood and Atriplex.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dr. Qaddour concludes: \u201cPlanting heat-tolerant species like wild olive and laurel along roadsides is another practical solution the Syrian government could adopt in various regions.
