# Areas burnt by wildfires (2000-2017), Jan. 2019

This vector dataset presents the extent of areas in European countries directly affected by wildfires (period 2000-2017). This dataset can be used as one of the indications where the danger of wildfires may persist or increase in the future under the changing climate.
The dataset is one of the output of the “European Forest Fire Information System-EFFIS” (http://effis.jrc.ec.europa.eu)  provided by the Joint Research Centre (JRC).
The dataset is also part of the EEA indicator "Forest fires": https://www.eea.europa.eu/data-and-maps/indicators/forest-fire-danger-2/assessment.https://sdi.eea.europa.eu/geonetwork/srv/api/records/8b864fc4-7eee-4861-afff-4e855d62bc9c
