Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI)

The WUI, where houses meet or intermingle with wildland vegetation, is a focal area for human-environment conflicts, such as wildland fires, habitat fragmentation, invasive species and biodiversity decline. Scientific maps based on collaborative research are now online depicting the communities and lands within the WUI across the lower 48 states.

California leads the nation with more than five million homes within the WUI.
