Resources
Access fire data, burned-area statistics, and external data sources for research and conservation planning.
Fire & conservation data
Download datasets and access tools for fire analysis in Madagascar.
Fire Point Data
Historical fire detection points from MODIS and VIIRS satellites, geolocated across Madagascar — for individual protected areas or the entire island.
Area Burnt Data (2005–2025)
AFO's own monthly burned-area dataset for Madagascar, derived from MODIS MCD64A1 — the same data powering our Fire Insights page.
Fire History Atlas (2001–present)
Pixel-level fire frequency, late dry season frequency, time since last burnt, and yearly seasonality, browsable by year and by protected area.
Protected Area Boundaries
GIS shapefiles and boundaries for Madagascar's protected areas, including Ankarafantsika, Menabe Antimena, and Itremo, for spatial analysis.
Land Cover Maps
Vegetation and land-use maps for fire context — forest cover change, grassland extent, and agricultural boundaries.
Climate Data
Rainfall, temperature, and drought indices relevant to fire seasonality and risk prediction in Madagascar.
