France Burns at a Scale Not Seen Since 1945. Emmanuel Macron told emergency responders in Gironde on Monday that France faces its most difficult situation since the Second World War, describing the blaze outside Bordeaux as completely unprecedented. Roughly 160,000 hectares have burned nationwide this year, and the usual August peak of the fire season has not yet arrived. The scale is hard to absorb. More than 220,000 people have been evacuated from Gironde alone, one of the largest evacuations in modern French history. Around 2,500 firefighters, 1,500 soldiers and 1,200 police are deployed, 88 firefighters have been injured, and 240 homes are gone. At its closest, the fire came within fifteen kilometres of Bordeaux. Four firefighters have died across France in just over two weeks. As of Tuesday the main front is stable, with military engineers cutting firebreaks alongside crews. That may not hold. Temperatures near 42 degrees are forecast later this week, and authorities warn the fires could burn for months. Then there is the part no evacuation figure captures. Ecological Transition Minister Monique Barbut has warned that the damage to wildlife will be catastrophic, and the wildlife photographer Marina Scaglia has spent this season documenting what that looks like on the ground. She writes that she could not stay silent this year. Thousands of hectares are burning, in every region of France and across the world, and while we count the devastated land, nature is dying. Animals are fleeing. Ecosystems are collapsing. But she has also seen firefighters spraying a doe, and people filling hollows in rocks so animals can drink, and she calls that mobilisation beautiful. Her request is simple. Leave wildlife alone this year and let them recover. They have no shelter, no food and no time to heal. Let them breathe. These are not numbers. These are lives.
