The main ecology balancer known i.e.forest has profound impacts on ecosystem. The phenomena like forest fire brings disruption on ecosphere utterly. Besides ecosphere, forest fire has an adverse impact on wildlife and life of human beings. Forest Fire is an uncontrolled fire occurring in nature naturally or due to human interruption or any other disturbances caused by the nature, which may or may not be supressed by artificial means of control.

Forests are vital for human life because they provide a diverse range of resources: they store carbon &act as carbon sink, produce oxygen which is vital for existence of life on the earth, so they are rightly called as earth lung, help in regulating hydrological cycle, planetary climate, purify water, provide wild life habitat(50% of the earth's biodiversity occurs in forests), reduce global warming, absorb toxic gases & noise, reduce pollution, conserve soil,mitigate natural hazards such as floods& landslides & so on.
The occurrence of wildfire bring marked effects on flora and fauna and demote the forest cycles. The emission of the carbon gas by fire contribute to greenhouse effect and brings air pollution not only nearby, but thousands of miles away bringing deadly impacts on human health.

About a week prior, fire activity had been worse in different forest areas of Nepal which led to the deterioration of air quality. The harmful pollutants released brought an issue to human health for which Nepal government had to decide four days of public holidays to all educational institutes to secure the health of public.To fend off such condition in near future, awareness among all must be created about wildfires and its impacts on wildlife, human life, ecosystem.

Wildfires are an unfortunate occurrence but they can be prevented. Humans are the number one cause of wildfires and can be the number one solution as well. To prevent this, only light fires in an areas that are easily controlled locations. Make sure when you are creating fire pits or other fires that you are doing so in areas that are controlled and fires cannot spread into other areas. A fire will need to be contained so that it will be easy to put out especially if a dangerous situation would arise. Do not burn any materials that are combustible or unusual in nature.

To bring mindfulness amid people about the impacts of wildfires and the roles people could play to prevent such clash further, voice of youths could be a well built factor. They can advocate and risk communication initiatives such as producing community radio shows and media and information literacy learning resources to counter disinformation and promote wildfire education, conducting surveys on behavioural insights to inform response strategies,disseminating information about wildfire and its impact all around.
