Why in News? Recently, At least five people have lost their lives in the fires that have now spread over 1,000 hectares of forests in much of Uttarakhand. There is a danger of the blaze fanning out to heavily populated urban centres including Nainital city.
What causes forest fires?
Nearly 95 per cent of forest fires in the country, including in Uttarakhand, are initiated by human activities. Historically, the accumulation of pine needles on the forest floor during the summer months was the main reason for the fires in the Himalayan season. Some of the combustion is necessary for the forest to regenerate — the burning of litter promotes the growth of fresh grasses. However, the ecological beneficial activity of the past has assumed a severely destructive character in recent years.
