Forest fire monitoring of wildlife sanctuary using geospatial techniques

Forest fires are the most destructive element in the ecosystem, and it is the critical environmental issue. Geospatial technology provides various techniques for fire monitoring across the globe. The present study uses various indices like dNDVI and dNBR for creating burn severity mapping of Sri Venkateswara Wildlife Sanctuary (SVWS) which can help identify the fire risk zones and monitor vegetation activity for the year 2020. This study collects various Active Fire data products like MODIS and VIIRS to do overlay analysis to compare the Burn severity mapping. The study identifies various high and moderate fire risk zones along the study area which effects the biodiversity in the region.
