Europe’s Worst Wildfire Season on Record :fire:
Spain and Portugal are experiencing an unprecedented wildfire crisis, with over 1 million hectares scorched across the EU in 2025 — the worst fire season since records began. In just two weeks, flames devoured an area four times the size of Greater London. Protected national parks, ancient pilgrimage routes, and rural communities were overwhelmed. The smoke reached as far as France and the UK, and CO2 emissions shattered records.
Experts say this is no coincidence. Climate change is fueling the flames, drying out vegetation and setting the stage for larger, faster, and more frequent fires. Once-resilient ecosystems are now collapsing under the pressure of rising heat and human neglect.
What’s happening in the Iberian Peninsula is a glimpse into the future — unless we act now.
