Wildfires in Pakistan

104 fires over 1,000 hectares with a perimeter estimated by GWIS since 2016, adding up to 164,932 hectares burned across 66 subdistricts.

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 3 provisional pages, seen only as heat detections and still without a perimeter. They appear in the lists, marked.
