Preventing fires and protecting forest resources Africa is one of the seven continents in the world, with the second largest population in the world, and is located in the western direction of the eastern hemisphere of the earth. Africa is dominated by desert, most areas are hot and dry, and precipitation is extremely scarce, so Africa is also a fire-prone area. Recently, it was reported that a big fire broke out on Mount Kilimanjaro, the highest peak in Africa. As for whether there are casualties, it is still unclear. The following papers are cited to illustrate this matter:

According to Reuters, a fire broke out on Mount Kilimanjaro, the highest peak in Africa, in the afternoon of June 65438+1October local time, and Tanzanian firefighters and locals were struggling to put out the fire. At present, the fire has been burning for two days, and it has not been put out as of June 65438+1October 65438+March local time. According to the news released by Tanzania National Park, the fire broke out at a rest stop about 3000 meters above sea level. The cause of the fire and casualties are still unclear.

Kilimanjaro is the highest mountain in Africa, isn't it? Roof of Africa? The title of. Many Africans regard it as? Holy mountain? . Although Kilimanjaro is in Africa, there are many rare animals living in the forests around the mountain. Kilimanjaro is a combination of volcanoes and snow-capped mountains, and the top of the mountain is covered with snow all year round. There is very rich vegetation at the foot of the mountain.

There is a proverb in China. Be careful with candles when the weather is dry? . With the arrival of the fourth quarter, the weather turned cold. The climate is getting drier and drier, and a cigarette butt can easily cause a fire, especially in Africa, which is already dry and hot, so we should pay more attention to fire prevention. What caused the Kilimanjaro fire? Now scientists have an exact statement.

Local people have two main speculations about the cause of the fire: First, it may be caused by tourists smoking. The cigarette butts thrown away by tourists are not completely extinguished, and a single spark can start a prairie fire.

Second, it may be caused by tourists having a picnic. The tourists were hungry during the trip, so they made a fire to cook and caused a fire.

The current casualties are unknown. I hope everyone will pay attention to it. Fire is a very destructive natural disaster, and it is also difficult to put out. The destruction of forest ecosystem by fire is almost irreversible.
