Eucalyptus plantations are expanding - and being blamed for devastation
In 2017, 66 people died after fires ripped through eucalyptus stands around Pedr—g‹o Grande. Restrictions on the highly flammable trees have provoked death threats, yet others feel they do not go far enough.
In 2017, eucalyptus trees burned like roman candles around the villages near Pedr—g‹o Grande, spraying flames high into the sky. The fire reached more than 1,000C (1,832F) in some places, melting ceramics and metal. Of the 66 people who died in the largest wildfire, in June, 47 lost their lives trying to escape in their cars on the EN-236-1, a highway fenced in by thick stands of eucalyptus.
A landscape surrounded by eucalyptus plantations in various stages of growth, located right next to people's houses. Pedr—g‹o Grande was the site of Portugal's largest wildfire in 2017.
