Jordan reports over 6,000 trees burned in two years
Jordan experienced fires during the years 2024 and 2025, which resulted in the burning of over 6,632 forest and fruit trees across various regions of the Kingdom. The incidents requiring intervention by the Civil Defense increased, with approximately 29,547 fires handled, most of which were caused by heat sources such as lighters and cigarette butts. Experts confirmed that trees affected by fire do not regrow, emphasizing the need for replacement to protect the vegetation cover, especially since fire permanently kills plant cells. Specialists urged strict adherence to preventive measures, such as not discarding cigarette butts improperly, monitoring children, and exercising caution when dealing with fire in agricultural and natural areas, in order to enhance environmental protection and preserve the greenery amid the dry climate and environmental challenges facing the Kingdom.
