Table 7. Summary of estimated protected area reductions of fire incidence (percentage points).

Area	Mean fire incidence	Mean reduction due to strict protected areas	Mean reduction due to multi-use protected areas	Mean reduction due to indigenous areas
Latin America and Caribbean	7.4	2.7–4.33.8–7.7	4.8–6.46.2–7.5	16.3–16.512.7–12.8
Africa	6.1	1.0–1.32.2–4.5	(0.1)–3.0Not calculated	Not applicable
Asia	5.5	1.7–2.02.9–3.1	4.3–4.96.7–5.1	Not applicable

Note: Italics indicate estimates for protected areas established between 1990 and 2000. Parentheses indicate estimated increases in forest fire incidence.
