Global wildfires decreased during the COVID-19 lockdown, but some fires intensified without human intervention
Global wildfires decreased by over 12% during the COVID-19 lockdowns in the first half of 2020, according to a new study published in Cell Reports Sustainability. The research highlights the complex role humans play in shaping fire patterns, both as sources and controllers of fires.

AI analysisThis study highlights the intricate interplay between human activities and global fire patterns. It underscores that while reduced human presence can lead to fewer wildfires, it also reveals vulnerabilities in ecosystems where human intervention is crucial for managing fires.
The reduction in human activity during the pandemic led to a decrease in global wildfire incidents by more than 12%, but some regions experienced significant increases.
- Further research on the long-term impacts of reduced human activity on wildfire incidence
- Monitoring prescribed burn practices during future lockdowns or similar periods of reduced human activity
