Wildlife officials have asked that the government introduce legislation to safeguard the country’s woodlands in response to the rising trend of wildfires on TikTok these days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A video of two young people lighting fire to the forest in Margalla Hills for a TikTok film received worldwide condemnation and outrage a few days ago. A TikToker can be seen lighting the woodland on fire with a lighter in the footage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A female TikToker set the trees on fire in another viral video to add “dramatic effects.” To produce a dramatic effect for the viewers in the footage, dozens of trees were burned to ashes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Another TikToker had previously set fire to a woodland in Abbottabad. He was afterwards taken into prison by Wildlife officials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“This is a disturbing & disastrous trend on Tik Tok!” stated Chairperson Islamabad Wildlife Management Board Rina S Khan Satti, who shared the video of the female TikToker on her Twitter account. During this hot and dry season, desperate 4 followers are setting fire to our woodlands!”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She emphasized the importance of legislation by stating that individuals who cause wildfires in Australia face life in prison.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She went on to say, “We need to introduce comparable legislation.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“These insane teenagers must be apprehended and imprisoned right away!” Please contact @WildlifeBoard if you have any information,” Satti implored the crowd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
