Wildfires in Mongolia

60 fires over 2,000 hectares with a perimeter estimated by GWIS since 2016, adding up to 549,148 hectares burned across 28 districts.

Only fires of 2,000 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 one provisional page, seen only as heat detections and still without a perimeter. They appear in the lists, marked.
