Firefighting Expedition in the Astrakhan Region in Russia
The spring burning of dry grass in Russia is a big problem with which forest and fire departments have been struggling unsuccessfully for years. Unlike forest fires, some of which may be due to natural causes, grass burns are manmade nearly 90 percent of the time. Greenpeace carries out an expedition in the Astrakhan Nature Reserve to help protect this area and extinguish the fires.
