Forests cover two-thirds of British Columbia, an area of about 60 million hectares. During 2018 alone, the province experienced 2,117 wildfires that burned about 1.4 million hectares of land—about three times the size of Prince Edward Island.

​

The year before, 1.2 million hectares of forest were lost to fire. Some of the forest is expected to grow back on its own, but up to 30 percent may never return without human intervention.
