Wildfire-ravaged habitats could take centuries to recover, environmentalists say

This summer, wildfires burned many places. These fires destroyed homes for snakes and rare moths. The animals lived in special habitats. Now, these places are gone. Environmentalists say it will take a long time to fix.

The damaged areas need many years to grow back. It could take hundreds of years for the habitats to be the same again. The wildfires were very strong. They burned everything in their way. People are worried about the animals. They want to help the habitats recover.
