Sustainability is taking care of the land

For yet another summer, forest fires are showing us just how fragile our environment is. On the Iberian Peninsula and elsewhere in Europe, fire is leaving in its wake devastated landscapes, thousands of people confined to their homes or evacuated, and forests that will take years to recover vegetation and fauna.

Statistics indicate that 90% of fires are caused by human activity, either due to bad practice, recklessness or because they are intentionally started.

The environmental conditions of recent months have raised alarms. We need to be in contact with nature, and we miss it when heatwaves, lack of rain and their consequences make this impossible.

During the summer holidays, let’s be careful, pay attention to weather forecasts and act responsibly. Help care for and protect our environment and the people that live there while enjoying a well-deserved break.

Happy summer!
