Patagonia reels from forest fire outbreaks
During a visit to El Bolsón on 11 February, a town in the southern province of Río Negro, Argentina’s Security Minister Patricia Bullrich, alongside Defence Minister Luis Petri, announced that the government will create a federal emergency agency to combat the intense wildfires raging through various Patagonian provinces such as Río Negro, Chubut, and Neuquén. Environmental groups have expressed concern over the increasingly dry and hot weather, aggravated by human-induced global warming, making this summer season (December-February) one of Patagonia’s worst wildfire seasons in recent decades.
