Kruger National Park

Fire Reports
Using real time MODIS satellite image subsets, Kruger is classified into areas which have burnt and those which have not. By using fire scar co-ordinates (obtained from field rangers) and active fire locations (detected by the WebFire Mapper), a fire scar classification is derived once a month from June until November. In this manner we are able to capture the temporal changes in fire scars across the Park. This information is therefore invaluable to KNP managers for the calculation of fire frequency and percentage area burnt.
