Trees killed by pine beetles serve to accelerate and worsen forest fires. The 2009 fire season in British Columbia, Canada, was one of the worst in the province’s history, and climate change has only increased the number and intensity of forest fires exacerbated by beetle-killed trees.
During COP22, Pacific Standard is partnering with NOOR Images, the Netherlands-based photography collective. Check back here for more photographs throughout the week, and visit Pacific Standard’sInstagram account, where we’re publishing two special photos each day from NOOR.
