Article Synopsis
- The wildland-urban interface (WUI) is the area where human buildings and natural vegetation interact, leading to various risks like wildfires and habitat loss.
- A new global map from 2020 shows the WUI comprises just 4.7% of land but houses nearly half of the world's population, indicating its significant social and ecological impact.
- The study highlights that WUI areas are especially prevalent in Europe and certain biomes, with most people living near wildfires residing in the WUI, emphasizing the need to monitor changes in housing and vegetation due to climate change.
