Speaking to TNIE, Naidu said, "Forest fires are a devastating ecological concern. They usually occur during summer. Forest fires could be natural but most are caused by human activities. Forest and soil resources as well as habitats of wild animals are largely destroyed. Due to this, wild animals leave forests and enter human settlements in search of food and water, resulting in human-wildlife conflicts."
