The study illustrates that urban growth is fueling the expansion of wildland-urban interfaces globally, leading to more frequent and severe wildfires as human settlements encroach on rich wilderness areas.
As cities expand, the wildland-urban interface grows, resulting in an alarming increase in wildfire risks. The research shows a staggering global expansion of 85% in WUI from 2010 to 2020.
China dominates the expansion figures concerning wildland-urban overlap, contributing nearly 96% of WUI growth in the last decade due to rapid urbanization and development.
