webfact Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 Forest fires raging through Tak’s mountains By THE NATION Border districts in Tak province are the latest to be hit by a series of fires that have been scorching the North and causing severe haze over recent weeks. Forest fires were reported to be blazing in five districts bordering Myanmar on Tuesday (April 14). The fiercest fires are raging in Tak’s Umphang district, where more than 200 hotspots have been detected. The mountainous landscape is hampering the efforts of officials and volunteers to stem the progress of the fires. Officials said many of the forest fires were started by local people, both in Umphang and over the border in Myanmar. They also suspect that locals have been burning the forest to make it easier to gather wild produce such as mushrooms.

If you go down in the woods today, you're sure of a big surprise If you go down in the woods today, you'd better go in disguise For every bear that ever there was will gather there for certain Because today's the day the teddy bears have their picnic Bears have no respect for the law....

This one single country is the cause of hardships all around the globe. From the disappearance of species, to these forest fires killing millions every day. It should be nuked off the face of the planet, and the middle east as well. ???? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
