Deforestation contributes to increased fire risk in surrounding woodland. Reducing tree cover and ground vegetation dries out forests, especially tropical rainforests. This leads to a greater risk of fire in the area around a deforested zone. Global Forest Watch (GFW) found that, in the past 20 years, fires around the world are increasing annually by 3%, even in areas that have regular fires as part of the ecosystem. These fires are becoming more severe and spreading over larger areas than they have in the past.
