Foreign media are paying attention to the forest fire disaster in New Zealand. What are the consequences of this disaster?

The management, protection and utilization of forest resources are closely related to people's daily life. The beautification of the environment can make people relaxed and happy, and green plants can make people feel comfortable. 1: How easy are forest fires?

Sometimes humans are really innocent? We didn’t do anything wrong, and fires suddenly happened. Nature does not always arrange everything from a human perspective. In a sense, forest fires are indeed a link in the entire earth's ecological chain, so they have their own rules of occurrence. High temperature, drought, lightning strikes, and volcanic eruptions can easily cause spontaneous combustion of combustible materials on the forest floor or swamp peat. However, more often than not, the fate of human beings is still in their own hands. Higher tree density, more dry wood for fuel, and traditional simple and easy production and living patterns have led to an increase in the frequency, scale, and severity of forest wildfires. For example, experts believe that most fires in the Amazon rainforest are caused by humans. In order to occupy more land for grazing or farming, people clear the rainforest and clear the site by burning tree trunks, branches, leaves, etc., resulting in an increasing frequency of fires in this area. In the past ten years, among the forest and grassland fires with identified fire causes in my country, more than 97% were caused by human factors, among which the use of sacrificial fire, agricultural fire, outdoor smoking, and mountain afforestation ranked among the top four. 2: Hazards of forest fires

1. Loss of forest resources: The loss of forest resources is the most important direct loss in forest fire losses. It mainly refers to all available production and production in natural forests or artificial forests caused by fire. Timber loss from living and dead standing wood for domestic and other uses. The size of the loss of standing trees is mainly related to the fire area, the degree of burning of standing trees, tree species, and tree age.

2. Loss of current assets: refers to the loss of current assets in the fire area caused by forest fires. Including economic losses from forest by-products, agricultural and animal husbandry products, inventories, etc. Among them, the loss of forest by-products refers to the loss of forest by-products (such as mushrooms, fungus, Chinese herbal medicine and other by-products with collection and processing value) in the burned area; the loss of agricultural and animal husbandry products refers to the agricultural products (such as grain, cotton, oil, etc.) in the burned area. etc.) and livestock products (livestock, poultry, etc.); inventory losses refer to the economic losses of raw materials, products in progress, finished products, etc. in the burned area.

3. Impact on soil: Forests can reduce wind speed, prevent wind and sand fixation, and prevent soil desertification and the formation of sandstorms. After forest fires, the original green barrier no longer exists, the forest environment undergoes drastic changes, and the forest ecology such as weather, water, and soil is disturbed and loses balance. Land desertification, desert migration, and drought will cause irreversible damage to the entire ecosystem. .

4. Losses in the tourism industry: With the development of the economy and the rapid development of society, people have turned their attention from the commodity function of producing wood to the functions of tourism, health care and recuperation. People have entered the forest. Forest, embrace the green, eliminate fatigue, recuperate, rest, and spend summer vacation in the forest. Once a fire occurs, this function of the forest will be lost, resulting in loss of tourism. Three: Fire management and related prevention work

Propaganda and education work on fire prevention is an effective method to prevent forest fires. By posting slogans, crossing street banners and other methods, we can improve the fire prevention awareness of the people in the forest area, so that it can truly be known to all women and children and be deeply rooted in their hearts and minds. Preventing forest fires is the first step in protecting forest resources. Forest fire prevention is also the management measures and timely restoration mechanism for forest prevention. At the same time, it is also particularly important to clean up the fire isolation zone. For forest fire prevention, prevention is the top priority. We must start from the fire source management when entering the mountain pass, and have a detailed understanding of the factors that may cause fire sources. There are three main factors that cause forest fires: oxygen, combustibles and fire sources. One of the prevention measures for forest fires is to eliminate the source of the fire. Fire sources include natural and man-made fire sources. Therefore, forestry managers should strengthen the management of fire sources, organize personnel to regularly inspect forest lands within their jurisdiction, eliminate hidden dangers in a timely manner, and establish and improve corresponding early warning mechanisms and regional inspection and joint prevention mechanisms to nip fires in the bud. .

Forest resources are an important part of my country's natural resources. The protection of forest resources and the orderly development of the forest ecological environment are the goals of the country's sustainable development.
