Wildfires in China
3,457 fires over 1,000 hectares with a perimeter estimated by GWIS since 2016, adding up to 8,527,808 hectares burned across 508 counties.
Only fires of 1,000 ha or more get an entry: smaller ones are not in the lists or the entry totals, but they are in the GWIS yearly series.
These figures leave out 8 burns that were probably not wildfires (agricultural, pasture, reed-bed or prescribed); 7 provisional pages, seen only as heat detections and still without a perimeter. They appear in the lists, marked.
