Advancing Wildland Fire Science for a Resilient Future
Wildland Fire Research Institute (WIFRI) is a global platform dedicated to advancing scientific understanding of wildland fire, fire ecology, climate impacts, fire management, and ecosystem resilience.
Through research, collaboration, and knowledge sharing, we connect scientists, land managers, policymakers, and communities worldwide to address the growing challenges of wildfire in a changing climate.
Together, we transform research into solutions that protect people, landscapes, biodiversity, and future generations.
About Wildland Fire Research Institute
Founded in 1983, the Wildland Fire Research Institute (WIFRI) serves as an international hub for wildland fire science and knowledge exchange.
For more than four decades, we have supported researchers, practitioners, and organizations by providing access to valuable scientific resources, publications, and research findings related to wildfire and ecosystem management.
Our work spans a wide range of disciplines, including:
• Fire Ecology
• Fire Behavior & Fire Weather
• Wildfire Management & Mitigation
• Climate Change & Ecosystem Resilience
• Smoke & Air Quality Research
• Biodiversity & Rare Species Conservation
• Invertebrate Ecology
• Fire Safety & Risk Reduction
By fostering international collaboration and promoting open access to scientific knowledge, WIFRI helps drive innovative solutions to some of the world’s most pressing environmental challenges.
Our Mission
To advance global understanding of wildland fire through research, education, and international collaboration.
We believe that scientific knowledge transcends borders. By connecting researchers, practitioners, and institutions worldwide, we promote the exchange of ideas, data, and innovations that improve wildfire management, strengthen ecosystem resilience, and support informed decision-making.
Our mission is to empower a global community dedicated to protecting landscapes, biodiversity, and communities from the growing challenges of wildfire in a changing world.
