Forest is one of the major aspects of the environment. Forest plays a vital role in urban and rural climates. Forest fires cause heavy damage to our communities and natural resource points. GIS can adequately utilize for the forest fire disaster zone mapping and also for the catastrophe estimation. GIS also helps to record real-time monitoring of major fire-prone locations. This is accomplished with the help of GNSS and satellite Remote Sensing.

Mapping Forestry defines how Geographic Information System (GIS), remote sensing and Global Positioning System (GPS) (commonly called 3S) and associated software supports the business of forestry considering integrating forest information, economic changes, growing global competition, and decreasing forest resources. In real scenarios from Nepal, India, Brazil, Romania, United States, Finland, and Cambodia, foresters share how they use 3S to manage commercial operations and maintain sustainable maintenance. Forest managers describe how computer-generated maps, remotely sensed images, GIS examination and determination helps them to decide the best places to build roads, whether logging in a particular area is commercially possible, which fire-damaged areas should be restored first and more.
