Proveneya & Nahiara · Data as of July 24, 2026

Behind every wildfire is a story the news never tells: the story of those who, silently and over millions of years, built with their flight the flowers, the fruit, and the green we now watch burn. Pollinators are victims too — and they deserve to be counted.
