Restoring the UK's lost wetlands could help prevent large wildfires, similar to the one currently affecting south Wales. #wildfires
Over 75% of UK wetlands have been destroyed—restoring them would help prevent wildfires
Firefighters have been battling a vast wildfire in the hills above Blaenavon in south Wales, spreading across more than 4,000 hectares (9,900 acres), for three weeks.

Yesterday I visited the common land above Blaenavon that was devastated by wildfire over the summer.
Special thanks to our fire services, military, police, farmers and residents who manage the land and whose expertise is paramount. Now, we must build resilience for future fires.

The idea that planting trees will stop climate change is a fallacy. It's actually making the proble worse with wild fires burning all over the UK and Europe. At this stage we must concentrate on renewable energy and reliable carbon capture.
