The latest fire alert, although isolated, is a stark reminder of the persistent threat wildfires pose to Greece's landscapes. With a tree cover extent of over 3.60 million hectares, the country's rich biodiversity and natural beauty are at risk if these trends continue. The net change in tree cover, which takes into account both losses and gains, underscores the importance of sustainable management and conservation efforts to mitigate these losses and preserve Greece's natural heritage for future generations.
