Greenpeace has documented the devastating wildfires in Spain by publishing breathtaking aerial pictures.

Some of the pictures were taken over the wildfires in Almorox (Toledo), West Madrid, Brieva (Segovia), and La Mierla (Guadalajara).

They also cover the Burgohondo wildfire, the largest on record, as well as the blaze that devastated the Sierra Oeste of Madrid, which led to a national emergency.

Spain is experiencing one of its most severe wildfire seasons in recent years, driven by prolonged heatwaves, drought and dry vegetation.

Thousands of hectares of woodland and farmland have been destroyed, forcing evacuations and damaging homes, businesses and infrastructure.

Scientists and fire experts have repeatedly warned that climate change, combined with decades of inadequate forest management, is increasing the frequency and intensity of extreme wildfires.

The group has asked all parties to put aside politics and coordinate their efforts to avoid such disasters.

Reforms, adequate funding and concrete action are the measures that Greenpeace insists on.

“These images must not be forgotten, and these crises must not continue to be used as political weapons or as a means of attacking opponents,” the group said in a petition sent to media outlets.
