Forest fires on forest fund lands and other categories
Five years of forest monitoring show the frequency of fires and the number of hectares affected between 2019 and 2023. Table rows are divided into the number of recorded incidents in thousands and the area burned, measured in thousands of hectares. The breakdown into forest and non-forest lands helps assess the scale of damage to the country's natural resources in annual dynamics

How to read this table
Three separate rows allow for comparison of indicators, with data grouped by type of damage and number of incidents. The row showing the total number of fires is separate from the area data, enabling a comparison of fire frequency with territorial coverage. Detailed analysis shows how fire intensity changed on forest lands compared to non-forest areas for each year of the 2019–2023 period
What is visible in these numbers
The largest value belongs to “Area of forest land affected by fires, thousand ha” — 3,205; the smallest is “number of forest fires, thousand” at 12.2. The gap between them is 263-fold.
