Wildfires

Wildfires - Chile

According to National Institute of Agricultural Development, out of over 17 000 dead animals, 13,554 are poultry birds, 1,783 cattle, 560 goats, 407 sheep and 244 pigs, among other species.

The report did not include wildlife affected by the forest fires in early February, mainly in Ñuble, Biobío and La Araucanía regions, where over 452,000 hectares were ravaged. The Chilean government is presently coordinating some actions to support farmers and provide subsidies to companies (with up to 50 workers) that have been affected by the disaster.
