Wildfire devastates Vojvodina's Delibláti sand plain, restoration will take decades
A massive blaze swept through the Delibláti sand plain in Vojvodina, wiping out thousands of hectares of forest, with official damage numbers still pending and recovery expected to span many years.
The fire consumed extensive forest area on the Delibláti sand plain, a protected natural reserve in Vojvodina, but authorities have not yet released precise loss figures. Minister Sara Pavkov announced a restoration plan, drawing sharp criticism from experts who warned against rushing the process. Forestry professor Slobodan Milanović explained that such large-scale fires can cripple entire ecosystems and leave surviving trees highly vulnerable to pests.
Why it matters
The blaze threatens a rare protected ecosystem, requiring long-term effort to restore biodiversity and prevent further environmental damage.
