Campaign: Wildfires

Over fifty years – on all continents and oceans – together we have spoken truth to power, borne witness, stopped, blocked and placed our bodies in the way of environmental destruction.

This tool can help predict the catastrophe, prepare a public campaign on fires and follow the development of the situation using maps and satellites.

Devastating wildfires are destroying ecosystems worldwide now that natural fire regimes and landscapes are altered by human activities. This map provides a snapshot of communities suffering from and fighting with wildfires from all over the world.

Greenpeace mapping experts have conducted an analysis of major wildfires across Siberia to identify cases where wildfires were spatially linked to man-made objects such as roads, logging, settlements, or prescribed burnings.
