The NGO has seen a surge in animal admissions – largely because of climate change, which scientists say is driving longer, more intense and more frequent heatwaves worldwide, fuelling wildfires and generating other dangers for wildlife. Greece this summer faced several major forest fires amid high temperatures, destroying many areas, especially around Athens and in the western Peloponnese. The government said around 450,000 acres (182,000 hectares) had burnt this year. (Photo by Aris Messinis/AFP Photo)
