Lezz do it... "Operation Forest Freedom". Send them B-52s for some nature loving tender care!
Are you referring to the forest fires, or the blueberry-eating birds?

Researchers at Purdue University are studying the risk of injury to birds. Principal investigator Esteban Fernandez-Juricic says very little is known about whether lasers can harm the animals' retinas.

whilst we love bees and spiders in our household, wasps are kill on sight. The kids are well versed on the procedure. Even bigger wasps nests are dealt with (although the actual poisoning is usually left to me as i can run quicker.
wasps are just plain evil.
On Dec. 27, 1935, 10 Army bombers, then biplanes with cloth wings, set out to defeat nature, according to Historic Wings, an online aviation magazine. Each plane carried two 600-pound demolition bombs.
The mission: Bomb the lava flow source.
The planes dropped 20 bombs on Mauna Loa that day, five landed directly in the lava flow, creating giant craters that were quickly filled by the molten rock. The other bombs missed and one even turned out to be a dud.
Additionally, local Hawaiians were disturbed by the bombing, but they weren’t upset over whether it worked or not. They believed the practice to be an affront to Pele, the Hawaiian volcano deity.
In a book titled “Pele, Volcano Goddess of Hawaii: A History,” H. Arlo Nimmo, a cultural anthropologist, wrote that many feared the bombs “would only anger the goddess to further destruction.”
As legend has it, less than a month later, Pele extracted a measure of revenge. Two planes collided over Oahu and six men who participated in the bombing were killed.
