Summary

[edit]
Description
English: In July 2022, two major wildfires broke out in southwestern France, ravaging the localities of La Teste-de-Buch and Landiras for several days. The blazes had devastating consequences, and more than 170 square kilometres of forest were burnt down. Moreover, the biodiversity was heavily damaged: about one fourth of the local deer population (between 140 and 180 specimen) died in the flames in La Teste-de-Buch alone. Protective measures have been put in place by the Arcachon/La Teste-de-Buch Local Hunting Association (ACCA) to ban hunting activities for the 2022/2023 season, in order to allow the regeneration of the deer population. The burn scar of the La Teste-de-Buch wildfire is visible in this image, as seen by one of the Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellites on 1 August 2022. The spatial and temporal resolution of the free and open data supplied by the Copernicus Sentinel satellites allows the monitoring of wildfires and of the damage they cause on the environment.
