Where this data comes from

Perimeters come from GWIS (Copernicus, CC BY 4.0), rebuilt from heat detections, and municipal boundaries from geoBoundaries/DNCT - Direction Nationale des Colelctivités Territorielles, DNP - Direction Nationale de la Population, United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, Mali (Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0)). The area per municipality is computed by WorldFires by crossing both. The forecast is from Open-Meteo (CC BY 4.0).
