A woman visits the Venetian fortress overlooking the old town of the Greek Island of Corfu, on July 28, 2023. AFPPIX: Two weeks of sweltering heat and wildfires have confirmed fears that Greece's ecosystem is under increasing risk, experts say.
“It was a dry winter, and spring rains were not enough to maintain” moisture in the soil, Kontoes told AFP. The Greek state association insuring farmers, ELGA, estimates that 50,000 olive trees and 2,500 animals and beehives have been destroyed on Rhodes. This affects the ecosystem of one of the most densely populated cities in Europe, which houses more than a third of the Greek population of 10.5 million, he said.
“This year, prevention started a little late -- but firebreaks or other preventive measures are not always a panacea when the fire takes on enormous dimensions,“ Bokaris said.
