Türkiye - August 09, 2025 A touching video captures two firefighters dressed in yellow protective gear and red helmets kneeling on a grassy patch outside a damaged building. One carefully holds a small hedgehog in a yellow-gloved hand while the other pours water from a plastic bottle onto the tiny animal, providing much-needed hydration. Nearby, red fire hoses lie on the ground alongside a radio device, highlighting the urgency of their rescue efforts. The scene reflects the harsh aftermath of recent fires, with the injured hedgehog symbolizing the many innocent animals suffering from the destruction. The Turkish General Directorate of Forestry shared this footage to underline the severe impact forest fires have on wildlife. A subtitle on the video thanks viewers for watching, and the message emphasizes how most forest fires—90%—are caused by humans. The Directorate urges everyone to unite to protect forests and their animal inhabitants by avoiding actions that cause fires, including littering, lighting open fires, discarding cigarette butts, and burning crop residues. The plea is clear: “Do not cause harm, so that our precious lives are not lost.”
