UowoloThis data publication contains vector polygon spatial data showing burn areas from wildfires in 2016-2024 on Guam, Yap State (Federated States of Micronesia-FSM), and the Commonwealth of Northern Marianas Islands-CNMI (Saipan, Tinian and Rota Islands). Burn areas from wildfire in 2015 are also provided for Guam.
The purpose of this study was to summarize annual area and forest resources burned in Western Micronesia.

This second edition, published on 01/30/2024, includes the addition of data from 2022-2023 and data are now provided as a single shapefile and geopackage.
