Above all there are many specialists that studied this matter intensively and good ones too! investment must be made on studying, planning and educating against wildfires. Investigate the causes deeply, there must be

the reordering of the territory keeping in mind the concept of biodiversity and avoid or being very careful in the planting of highly flammable trees and should not be liberalized without careful planning and extreme care. Water should always be around in artificial lakes widespread along the forests, creating spaces between trees and educating the people for prevention. Good coordination and training are required as well as the late news in modern technologies to fight wildfires, but also: legislate to eliminate parallel economical interests that might be causing intentional fires: don’t let anyone profit upon fires.

Reforestation is always forgotten after wildfires and the forest is left wounded and sick and vulnerable to runoffs, erosion, and of course it doesn't sustain the winds or dust as much.
Yet we can see large areas where new deserts might take place...

Consequences of deforestation:

reforestation and land management: http://www.un.org/esa/desa/climatechange/reforestation.html

There must be a global commitment and global effort by joining forces, resources and it must be remembered that global warming is already here making damages, wildfires only make it all much worse.
So we require immediate action.

Thank you.
