EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial photograph, titled "Burned moorland 34062_053" captured by the talented photographer Emma Trevarthen, depicts a haunting scene of charred wilderness near Mossley in Oldham. The image showcases the aftermath of devastating wildfires that ravaged the moorland in 2018. The scorched earth stretches as far as the eye can see, with billowing smoke still lingering in the air. The once vibrant and lush landscape now lies barren and desolate, bearing witness to nature's fury unleashed upon it. This powerful visual serves as a stark reminder of the destructive force of wildfires and their impact on our environment. Moreover, this photograph also raises awareness about climate change, an underlying factor contributing to such catastrophic events. As temperatures rise and weather patterns become increasingly erratic, dry conditions create ideal breeding grounds for these infernos to ignite and spread rapidly across vast areas. Emma Trevarthen's skilled composition allows viewers to reflect upon both the fragility and resilience of our natural world. It urges us to contemplate our role in preserving these precious ecosystems for future generations. Through this thought-provoking image, Historic England not only documents a significant event but also prompts us to consider how we can collectively combat climate change and protect our planet from further devastation caused by wildfires like those witnessed here on this burned moorland near Mossley in 2018.
