Wildfires are rising globally due to climate change, severely impacting biodiversity and the ecosystem, with extreme events observed in different regions including Australia and Canada.
The 2019-20 Australian fires burned 10.3 million hectares, resulting in significant biodiversity losses and prompting assessments that revealed almost 900 species at risk.
The scale of monitoring following the Australian fires presents a unique opportunity to understand the effects of extreme fire events on various taxa across diverse ecosystems.
With over 18 million hectares burned in Canada in 2023, the increasing severity and frequency of megafires jeopardizes biodiversity and complicates effective policy response.
