Eucalyptus

"Galicia’s forests have been sold out. Every year they produce more than half of the timber cut in Spain, but in return a trap is being set: one of Europe’s most flammable regions is being filled with matchsticks. The green of the Atlantic forest, the oak and chestnut, is gradually being replaced by that of the eucalyptus, an exotic species that now makes up almost a third of the Galician forest biomass. Eucalyptus has an intimate relationship with fire." -- European Data Journalism Network
