Slovenia
Slovenia was hit by the largest fire in its history in 2022, with 2 900 hectares of forests burnt in the Karst region. In 2023, the Slovenia Forest Service started reforestation in hard-to-reach areas with drones that drop seed balls. The balls contain the seeds of indigenous tree species.
