On behalf of the ‘Vida Silvestre’ wildlife association on fire prevention in the EU 

Petition addressed to: Petitionsausschuss des Europäischen Parlaments

The petitioner calls for investment in the prevention of forest fires and the propagation thereof, arguing that they can be attributed to the condition of forests, the rural exodus and abandonment of grazing. Woodland in the south of Europe is particularly vulnerable because of climate change. He is accordingly seeking the formulation of a European forest management and protection policy, accompanied by an EU-funded comprehensive European fire prevention strategy and the reforestation and restoration of woodland areas devastated by fires.
