Biodiversity-focused post-fire ecosystem restoration guidelines
The report explores the complexity and diversity of ecosystems, particularly in the context of post-fire recovery in Mediterranean regions. While wildfires are a natural and sometimes beneficial aspect of these ecosystems, megafires can overwhelm their resilience and lead to biodiversity loss. Recovery strategies vary, with passive restoration techniques such as natural regeneration and additional seeding proving most effective, especially in rugged areas such as Muğla province in Türkiye. Active restoration methods are often costly and less feasible in difficult terrain. The report emphasizes the importance of holistic, biodiversity-based post-fire management plans and collaborative efforts involving local communities and ecological experts to ensure effective ecosystem recovery.
