Armenia: Forests Suffering from Unprecedented Tree Die‑off and Next Fire Hazard
Armenian forests are experiencing a massive die‑off of trees, which is increasing the risk of wildfires.
According to Suren Yesayan, head of the State Nature Reserve, forests in Armenia are suffering a large‑scale die‑off of trees, which is significantly increasing the risk of wildfires. This die‑off is likely linked to climate change, drought, and other environmental stressors. The situation is particularly concerning because dead trees provide abundant fuel for fires, which can spread rapidly and be difficult to control. The increased fire risk poses a threat to biodiversity, forest ecosystems, and nearby communities. The State Nature Reserve is monitoring the situation and may need to implement measures to mitigate the risk of wildfires, such as controlled burns or forest management practices.
