France begins a difficult reconstruction after record wildfires
The Gironde megafire has moved from an immediate firefighting emergency into a long reconstruction crisis. SRF reports that cleanup and recovery work is beginning after one of the worst forest fires in French history. The consequences extend beyond burned land: restoring forests, rebuilding damaged communities and adapting land management to future extreme fires will remain major European resilience challenges.
