Forest • Forest Fire • Tree Cover Loss • Deforestation
This dataset is produced by the Global Land Analysis & Discovery (GLAD) lab at the University of Maryland (UMD) and measures areas of tree cover loss due to fire, compared to all other drivers across all global land (except Antarctica and other Arctic islands), at approximately 30 × 30-meter resolution.

The dataset was generated using global Landsat-based annual change detection metrics for 2001-2023 as input data to a set of regionally calibrated classification tree ensemble models.
The result of the mapping process can be viewed as a set of binary maps (tree cover loss due to fire vs. tree cover loss due to all other drivers).
