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. Dozens of people lost their lives in the fire, which was supercharged by non-native eucalyptus trees in the surrounding area. As part of the community's recovery, they are planting native tree species and restoring landscapes around the village to lessen the impact of future fires, Pedr—g‹o Grande Pedr—g‹o Grande, Portugal.

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.

'Living hell': Rhodes residents criticise response to wildfires
People on the tourist island fear the impact of the loss of summer trade after fires that ravaged businesses and homes.
Local people on the Greek island of Rhodes who spoke to the Guardian felt let down by their local government, which they considered too slow to react when the fires started early last week, with the result that when the winds picked up they spread into the populated tourist areas that fuel the local economy. The landscape was ravaged, some buildings were destroyed, and local people and tourists were evacuated.
