Forest conservation measures in Russia
Statistics reflect forest loss and the number of fires in Russia from 2000 to 2024. Rows vary by indicator type: total area of dead forest stands, the share of losses due to fires, and the total number of fires. Area is measured in thousands of hectares, the number of fires is in thousands, and data covers the entire country

How to read this table
Row distinctions allow for comparing the scale of damage with the frequency of incidents. It is possible to compare the proportion of total forest loss caused by fire and how the number of fires changed over twenty-five years. These indicators help assess forest fire intensity and the scale of ecological losses across Russia
What is visible in these numbers
The table is 74% filled: Rosstat does not publish every cell, and the gaps are left as they are rather than interpolated.
