Central India Forest Fire Risk
Forests in Khandwa and North Betul, Central India, face a growing risk of fires due to a combination of human activities, such as burning undergrowth for resource harvesting, and natural factors like flammable tree species. A study published in August 2024 highlights an increasing trend in forest fires, with Khandwa seeing a rise of three fires per year and North Betul one per year. Predictive modeling identifies the most vulnerable areas, emphasizing the need for targeted fire management and community education. Immediate action is required to safeguard these forests and the biodiversity and cultural heritage they support.
