YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Experts point to decades of fire suppression, a buildup of vegetation and increased human activity in fire-prone areas as key reasons wildfire seasons are becoming more intense.

Watch to learn why scientists say forests are struggling to recover from today's wildfire conditions.
