Pacific Northwest Bigfoot Team Seeks Wildlife Recovery Signs in Post-Fire Oregon

In a recent video from the YouTube channel PNW Bigfoot Search, the team explores the aftermath of the Riverside fire in Oregon, which burned for several months in 2020 and scorched over 138,000 acres of land. The fire was started by human activity, but the exact cause has not been specified by authorities. As the team tours the area, they discuss the impact of wildfires on wildlife and how animals typically escape the flames. Smaller animals, such as birds and smaller mammals, fly or burrow away, while larger animals, like deer and elk, run or seek refuge in rivers and lakes. Unfortunately, sick, old, and young animals often perish in these fires due to their inability to escape quickly enough. Despite the devastation, the team remains hopeful for the natural recovery of the forest and the return of wildlife to the area. They plan to return in late spring or early summer to explore more of the terrain on foot in search of signs of wildlife and Sasquatch. In addition to the impact on wildlife, wildfires also have a significant impact on the carbon cycle. According to the US Forest Service, wildfires release large amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, contributing to climate change. However, forests also have the ability to absorb carbon dioxide, making them an important part of the solution to reducing greenhouse gas emissions. As the PNW Bigfoot Search team continues their exploration of the Riverside fire burn area, they remind us of the resilience of nature and the importance of preserving and protecting our forests. Be sure to check out their video for a closer look at the aftermath of the fire and the ongoing efforts to understand the impact on wildlife and the environment.
