linked to vast majority of catastrophic Siberian fires</A></H3>
<P style="FONT-FAMILY: Roboto,RobotoDraft,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif">Wildfires
that ravaged millions of hectares of land and forests in Russia last year may
have been caused by so-called “prescribed burning” – a controversial practice
intended to prevent the spread of forest fire.</P>
<P style="FONT-FAMILY: Roboto,RobotoDraft,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif">That’s
according to a new analysis of 2018’s Siberian wildfires carried out by GIS
specialists at Greenpeace’s Global Mapping Hub, who found that the overwhelming
majority of those fires started close to places where people travel, work or
live, or to sites of deliberate ‘prescribed burnings’.</P>
<P style="FONT-FAMILY: Roboto,RobotoDraft,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif">Across the
four regions studied the proportion of fires fitting into this category ranged
from 65% in Krasnoyarsk Krai to 99% in Amur Oblast. In that province alone,
around a quarter of the fires identified – with a burned area of 2.8 million
hectares – were spatially linked to areas where the forestry service had
conducted prescribed burnings. The mapping hub said this indicated that the
prescribed burnings “either caused fires, or did not fulfil their intended
function, which is to prevent the burning of dry forests”.</P>
<P style="FONT-FAMILY: Roboto,RobotoDraft,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif">In each of
the four regions analysed, a number of wildfires were spatially linked with
logging sites, with the total burned area of these fires ranging from 139,000
hectares in Zabaykalsky Krai to 200,000 hectares in Amur Oblast.</P></DIV>--
