The Regional Baltic Wildland Fire Network involves all countries bordering the Baltic Basin, including the Russian Federation. The majority of the region is covered by boreal coniferous forests that are adapted to natural fire. Prescribed burning in forests, protected nature conservation sites and for landscape management is receiving highest priority. In the temperate belt the use of prescribed fire is aimed to maintain open landscape types and their endangered habitats for flora and fauna. Regional cooperation in wildland fire emergency situations is promoted by the networking activities.
