  • Forest Fires, and Direct Advice to Member Countries
    iii FOREWORD Every year, large areas of savannah-type, mixed forest/grassland formations are affected by fires, particularly in the dry zones of Africa and South America. Forests in the humid tropics, although less prone to fire, are also affected by large fires, the most serious in recent times being in Indonesia in 1983 which burned 3.6 million ha in East Kalimantan, and the 1997-1998 fires. Coniferous forests in the humid tropics are often affected by fires: in the 1980s the area of pine forest in Honduras and Nicaragua burned annually amounted to some 3.5 percent of the total pine forest area of both countries, and large fires have burned natural and man-made tropical pine forests in Mexico and Indonesia (Northern Sumatra). Fire is also a permanent threat to forests in the subtemperate and temperate zones of North Africa and South America while from 1950 to 1990 fires in China are reported to have affected annually an average of 890,000 ha, the most damaging having been the fire which burned some 1.85 million hectares in the north-eastern province of Heilinjiang on 6 May 1987. In the former USSR, the total area burned on forest and other land from 1991-1995 was more than 5 million hectares. In North America, notwithstanding extensive, highly sophisticated prevention and control efforts, more than 2.3 million hectares of forest land still burn each year. Although some data on fires are available from some countries, most data are incomplete. Thus it is difficult to provide an overall estimate of the annual extent of fires in forests and other wooded lands.

In carrying out that mission, it also acts as an interface between European experts and decision-makers at all levels.
