Pine forests in Chubut, Argentine Patagonia, on January 26, 2026 are largely made up of introduced exotic species that have spread across the Andean region, creating ''green deserts.'' Acting as heavy fuel loads, they increase the risk of uncontrollable wildfires, especially after previous fires that trigger dense regeneration. Originally planted for production, these non-native pines now behave as invasive species, outcompeting native forests and complicating firefighting efforts, particularly in urban-rural areas. Recent fires highlight the danger of unmanaged pine expansion, especially near protected areas, where extreme weather and strong winds make fire control even more difficult.
