What do forest fires really cost us? Domina Delač for AmCham Croatia

In a new article for the American Chamber of Commerce in Croatia (AmCham Croatia), our colleague Domina Delač explores the growing economic and environmental costs of forest fires.

Instead of spending most funds only once a fire breaks out, more attention should go to climate-resilient forests, sustainable land management and the restoration of burned areas.

Fires destroy more than forests — their price is far higher than what we can see. Fire resilience is built not only by firefighting, but by investing in nature before and after fires. 🌱
