PARIS: French President Emmanuel Macron pledged to replant the historic Fontainebleau forest south of Paris on Thursday after wildfires scorched at least 10 percent of the 20,000-hectare domain and forced 1,000 residents to flee. The fire is now contained but Macron warned it would take several weeks for it to be completely extinguished. “Your forest is our forest because it is a treasure,” Macron said in Fontainebleau as he announced the launch of a fundraising campaign to replant the forest.
