‘My animals burned alive’: the man putting his life back together after Greece's wildfires – video

Shepherd Giannis Tsiboukas, 36, confronts the total destruction' caused after a wildfire ravaged his land on the island of Evia in Greece. Tsiboukas lost more than 40 animals to the fire that destroyed more than 50,000 hectares. Peoples homes and livelihoods have been decimated.

Hundreds of wildfires have torn through Greece this month on the heels of its most severe heatwave in decades, which left its forests tinder dry. Other Mediterranean countries - Turkey, Italy, Algeria and Spain among them - have suffered similar problems.

Scientists say there is little doubt that climate change from the burning of coal, oil and natural gas is driving more extreme weather events.
