ULAN BATOR, June 26 (Xinhua) — Since the beginning of spring 2025, 129 forest-steppe fires have been recorded in Mongolia, which have destroyed 639,921 hectares of forests and pastures, the country’s General Administration for Emergency Situations (GAES) reported on Thursday.
During the specified period, the number of forest-steppe fires on a national scale increased by 44.1 percent compared to the same period of the previous year, the official statement says.
Experts note that most forest-steppe fires occur due to human negligence and careless handling of fire. The State Emergency Service has called on Mongolians not to light fires or throw cigarette butts on the ground in hot, dry places. –0–
