Canada is facing a mounting crisis as intense wildfires and thick smoke continue to wreak havoc. Thousands have been evacuated in British Columbia, and winds are pushing smoke into Alberta. In light of the historic and deadly 2023 wildfire season, concerns are high for another intense summer. The smoke from Canadian wildfires has also led to health warnings in the upper Midwest for the second consecutive year. The persistent impact of these wildfires and resulting smoke underscores the urgent need for proactive measures to address the escalating climate crisis in Canada. The increasing frequency and severity of such events emphasize the critical significance of ecological restoration efforts in Canada to mitigate the impacts of climate change.
