Forest Fire
Viewer that allows awareness of the magnitude and consequences of the fires and the slow recovery of the forest
The Forest Fire viewer is an interactive tool developed by the ICGC that allows you to consult and analyze the forest fires registered in Catalonia between 1986 and 2022.
At a general level in Catalonia, you can consult the distribution and territorial scope of each fire. You can view all of the fires from the period 1986-2022 or only those from a specific year.
For each fire, you can compare and analyze the area affected before and after the fire and, thus, be able to monitor the evolution of the vegetation.
The main recipients of this tool are researchers, forest managers, students and the general public interested in analyzing the frequency and distribution of fires over the years, planning forest prevention and management strategies or for academic studies related to ecology and land management.
