Over 300 firefighters and six aircraft are trying to contain a wildfire currently burning in Greece’s Dadia National Park, Greece’s biggest Natura 2000 site, known for its black vulture colony. Greece, along with many other countries in Europe, has been experiencing a prolonged heatwave with many parts of the country currently under fire alert.
