Greece’s Macedonia-Thrace deputy minister on Monday reiterated the government’s volition to prioritize reforestation and afforestation efforts, which is often plagued by devastating summer wildfires, particularly in more arid southern half and pine-covered sites in the east Mediterranean country.

A major ecological catastrophe was visible on the mountainous and semi-mountainous surface of north-central Evia island on Wednesday morning in the wake of almost two days of a burning wildfire in a pine-covered region.

The European Union Civil Protection Mechanism will send air assistance to fight a fire in central Evia that rages out of control and has led to the evacuation of four villages, the Civil Protection Secretary General said on Tuesday.
