Tran Van Nao (Editor) The last decade has witnessed a seriously
increasing incidence of forest fires in many countries. Substantial
economic and ecological losses have been incurred, although the
estimation of total damage This has been due to the lack assessment
has often been inaccurate. of standardized methods for collecting
data on fire occurrence and area burnt, as well as information such
as the value of the vegetation destroyed and restoration costs, and
the implications for recreation, tourism and other social
activities. The Mediterranean region was initially considered one
of the most vulnerable to forest fires because of its' dry climate
and strong winds. No region is immune to forest fires, however, and
damage has been especially severe in areas where pine is the
predominant species. Although forest fires are normally considered
a national problem, they become an international one when they
occur in border area forests or when the ecological impacts are
felt over long distances. The potential for forest fires exists in
every country -unless it is a complete desert - and for this
reason, there is a need to promote better understanding of the
fires, and closer cooperation between countries in controlling
them.
