How long has the problem existed? I think it began when people started to modernize their lives. I'm not really sure about that, but I think it's been about 40,000 years. A few years ago, there was an extreme forest fire in Australia that had a significant impact. We all know how devastating it was in the northern part of my country, Vietnam. Even smaller scale fires can be really dangerous. We have to face several negative impacts of forest fires, which I think occur primarily in two ways: directly and indirectly. Indirectly, forest fires contribute to global warming due to temporary carbon release, which creates a chain reaction. The aftermath of the fire causes water contamination, which leads to the loss of many animals and a decline in biodiversity. Indirectly, forest fires also cause air pollution, resulting in respiratory diseases among people. The water contamination also has health impacts, especially in areas where people rely on farming. What can we do to solve the problem? We can follow government regulations and adopt eco-friendly practices. We can modernize what we have now instead of expanding and destroying forests. That's all.
