No victim is regret, but the results are dramatic for the fauna and flora after the fires in Gironde. 21,000 hectares were burned. The impact on the ecosystem promises to be major.
A baby squirrel is slowly coming to its senses. Residents discovered him near the fire of La-Teste-de-Buch (Gironde). “He was found in a state of hypothermia and in a fairly advanced state of thinness.“, says Amélie chaigneauveterinarian and coordinator of the care center for animals. A black kite was collected with a broken bone to his wing.
Posted on social media, an image showing a dead deer on the beach has raised awareness. A surge of solidarity has been created to save endangered wildlife. Residents came to bring water and containers to the hunters. They mobilized to set up small drinking troughs at the edge of the forest. Close to Landiras (Gironde)a drone takes off and the conclusion is clear: half of the natural space that the Gironde manages has been reduced to ashes. Only the most agile animals, such as deer, were able to escape. “Others were unfortunately caught in the flames like the amphibians“, says Sébastien Fourcade, responsible for natural areas.
