Well, it's true and it's sad to see what's happening. But, you know, from people fixing the world, we are seeing some promising ideas. Just to give you an example, there are two companies that are currently collaborating to use smart technology to be able to find wildfires as soon as they start and then deploy drones, for example, to be able to contain the fire immediately.

and help before more people can get to the scene. But the thing that makes this really interesting is that they're also using sound, and yes, I do mean sound, but kind of high, powerful acoustic wave technology to quickly and safely suppress the fires without causing any damage.

So this could help when people don't have direct access to water, but also help to avoid the need for the use of harmful chemicals to put them out. But really, like you said, Alex, it's about not just finding and putting out these fires. It's also about preventing them from happening in the first place.

Now, in places like North America, there's something called the Wild Horse Fire Brigade that uses native wild horses to reduce and maintain grass and bushes, which are fuel for these wildfires in forests. So it's kind of like starving a wildfire before it even begins. And something similar is happening in Spain, but not just with horses, also with cows.

Our reporter Craig Langren went to Madrid to find out more about these four-legged firefighting friends. And while he was there, he met someone who works with the animals, Rafa, who told him that he had seen the impact of a wildfire when he was just a kid.

Yeah, yeah. I mean, we're seeing and hearing about different things. So, for example, sponge cities in places like Singapore and Mexico, which is basically working with nature to help absorb, store and purify excess rainwater. But here in the north of England, there's also a project run by the conservation organisation RSPB or RSPB.
