A disaster, for sure, for what is/was a unique population (like all ursinii, perhaps...)... If I see how disastrous fire has been here in one of the main Coronella populations in Flanders (though only preliminary results), I really hope for good news. Apart from direct impact, this type of habitat, imho, is very fragile and probably takes decades to recover. For instance, also food populations need to restore... Recovery also depends on species-specific stuff like n° of offspring per female etc., I would guess. Some species are much easier to "help" than others in managing habitats too - e.g. short-lived vs. long-lived species, large number of offspring vs. few offspring ... (r vs. K strategists in ecology).
Interesting to study, but for my weak heart mainly a sad thing...
