Forest fires, also known as wildfires, are uncontrolled fires that burn in forests, grasslands, or other natural areas. They are one of the most visible consequences of climate change and human activity, and their causes and impacts are multifaceted. Understanding these causes and consequences is critical to mitigating the risks they pose to the environment, biodiversity, and human societies. The causes of forest fires can be broadly divided into natural and human-induced factors. Natural causes include lightning strikes, volcanic eruptions, and spontaneous combustion of dry vegetation under high temperatures. Lightning, in particular, is a common natural trigger because it can ignite dry leaves, branches, and grasses during thunderstorms, especially in regions with prolonged dry seasons. Prolonged droughts, which are increasing due to climate change, further exacerbate the susceptibility of forests to natural ignition. Human activities, however, are the primary drivers of forest fires worldwide. Agricultural practices such as slash-and-burn farming, where forests are cleared by fire to prepare land for cultivation, significantly increase the risk of uncontrolled fires. Additionally, improper disposal of cigarettes, unattended campfires, and arson contribute to the rise of forest fires. Urban expansion near forested areas, infrastructure development, and deforestation also create conditions that make forests more vulnerable to fire outbreaks. Climate change further intensifies human-induced causes by increasing temperatures, reducing precipitation, and extending dry seasons, making vegetation more flammable. The consequences of forest fires are far-reaching and affect ecosystems, biodiversity, climate, and human societies. One of the most immediate impacts is the destruction of vegetation, which leads to habitat loss for countless plant and animal species. Many animals are unable to escape rapidly spreading fires, resulting in high mortality rates and disruption of ecological balance. This loss of biodiversity can have cascading effects on food chains, nutrient cycling, and ecosystem stability. Forest fires also release large quantities of carbon dioxide, methane, and other greenhouse gases into the
