Stop the next wildfire
To the Heads of State of the European Union:
How many of us will have to watch their home and forest turn into ashes, before you act? As wildfires spread across Europe, we call on you to dedicate an EU budget to wildfire prevention, invest in professional firefighting training, and deliver a truly integrated European wildfire strategy. The cost of inaction will be measured in lives
Europe is burning. Sign now for a wildfire prevention plan:

To the Heads of State of the European Union:
My village In Spain has just burned.
Our home is still standing. But the forest that surrounded it for generations is gone.
These fires aren't just bad luck. They happen because we've neglected our countryside for years. Fewer people live on the land. Fewer farmers and shepherds are left to care for it. Too little is invested in preventing fires before they start, or in the people and resources needed to stop them once they do.
And now, as climate change brings longer, hotter and drier summers, every weakness in the system makes us vulnerable.
This isn't only happening where I live. Hundreds of thousands of families are watching their homes, forests and memories turn to ashes.
Join the thousands of people across Europe calling for leaders to stop treating wildfires as an emergency that begins when the flames appear. Prevention must come first, with proper investment, support for the people who care for our forests, and a coordinated European plan that protects communities before the next fire starts.
