The Top 10* are ranked by AISIX as follows:

1. Kootenay National Park / British Columbia  

2. Mount Revelstoke National Park / British Columbia

Figure 1 Map of Canada showing wildfire burn probabilities (yellow to red colours), and the top 10 Canadian parks at risk of wildfires given historical conditions and with highest increase in wildfire probability given Share Socioeconomic Pathways (SSP) 1 and 5 climate change scenarios by 2050. Note that the highest burn probabilities are concentrated in western Canada but that the location that will experience the most increase of wildfire probability is in the East.

The analysis considers aggregated 30-year burn probabilities within the parks’ boundary as portrayed by AISIX’s Wildfire dataset. AISIX utilizes advanced machine learning, physical based-modeling and climate change projections to pinpoint locations facing the highest wildfire probability. AISIX’s wildfire data workflow includes the application of Cell2Fire2, an advancement of BurnP3+, and simulates wildfire behaviour at the country scale according to historic and projected change in climate patterns.

The analysis shows long term trends rather than year-to-year specific conditions and highlights burn probability hotspots in B.C [Kootenay, Mount Revelstoke, Yoho, Pacific Rim, and Glacier], in Quebec [La Mauricie], Alberta [Banff, Jasper**, and Waterton Lakes] and the Yukon [Kluane]. (Figure 1).

The report also highlights wildfire risk in Eastern Canada. While the highest burn probabilities are concentrated in Western Canada, the location that will experience the most increase of wildfire probability is in the eastern part of the country.  In fact, when considering burn probability increase according to SSP5 climate change scenario in 2050, AISIX found that La Mauricie had the highest increase in this list, followed by Jasper, Mount Revelstoke, Glacier, Yoho, Kootenay, Waterton Lakes, Kluane and Pacific Rim.

“In this analysis by AISIX, we see increase burn probabilities mainly because of climate change, that makes fire seasons last longer with rising temperature and drier fuels,” said Dr. Gio Roberti. “AISIX’s wildfire data offers novel insights into fire behavior, empowering users to understand current and future fire patterns”.

AISIX’s Wildfire data plays a critical role in highlighting high-risk areas based on historical wildfire behavior and offering insights into future wildfire patterns influenced by climate change. Understanding these changes is vital because evolving fire patterns mean that more locations, including those in regions previously not prone to extreme fire behavior, are now at increased risk.

"We are committed to support wildfire risk mitigation efforts with the most accurate data available," stated Mihalis Belantis, AISIX's CEO. "By identifying these high-risk locations, we aim to assist stakeholders in implementing necessary precautions to mitigate the risk of loss of life and property.”

NOTES:

*The ranking is a combination of burn probability, burn probability increase and popularity.

**Some recent forest disturbances such as the 2024 Jasper fire are not yet included in the model.
