Summary

The study examined forest fire activity in Nepal using data from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectro-radiometer (MODIS) active fire datasets. The researchers analyzed the magnitude, distribution, seasonality, and risk zones of forest fires across diverse geographical areas in Nepal. The analysis of MODIS data from 2000 to 2013 revealed an average of 2159 fire counts per year, with the highest number recorded in 2012. These results on forest fires provide valuable information for stakeholders and decision-makers in Nepal.
