Update on Israeli Forest fire...

The Jewish National Fund has proposed replanting trees in the forest areas damaged by the recent four day fire. Donations from around the world continue to pour in for this cause. The small amount of forest Israel has in their country is extremely important to national pride. On the other hand, forestry experts state that the land should be allowed to regenerate itself. They back this claim up by saying that the fires help enhance the soil and lead to greater biodiversity development later. For now, it has been decided to wait a year for nature to take its own course.

I think the smarter decision to make is to let the forest redevelop on its own. If we has humans continue to interrupt the natural recovery systems of the environment, there will be more damage in the future.
