The animals are happy to go to the former forest fire zones, reports P4 Gävleborg. In the areas around Kårböle, in Ljusdal municipality, which burned during the dry summer of 2018, there are now unusually many elk and forest birds.
– Actually, there are more animals now than before the fire, I don’t know what to do in these burned areas, says forest owner Börje Jonsson on the radio.
One explanation may be the availability of grated rose, or milk thistle, which thrives in fire zones, according to Jukka Kuivalainen, a consultant to the Swedish Forestry Agency in Ljusdal.
– There has been new food, here it was very milky, like a purple sea. It’s like a moose smorgasbord, he says.
Another explanation is the green oases that have formed between fire areas, which are favorable for the recolonization of forest fire areas.
