Forestry serves as an indispensable subject in the advancement of ecological civilization and plays a vital role in achieving the carbon peaking and carbon neutrality goals.Despite the remarkable achievements in the nation’s forestry sector,there are notable regional disparities in forestry risk management capabilities.Reducing risks and enhancing management efficiency remain critical challenges that urgently require solutions in forestry administration.Based on forest insurance data regarding fire damage,the Loss Distribution Method was employed to evaluate the efficiency of forest fire risk management across 31 provinces(autonomous regions,municipalities),excluding Hong Kong,Macao,and Taiwan.Compare the evaluation results with those obtained from the disaster cause analysis method in the forestry field.The study revealed that fire risks are relatively high in Inner Mongolia,Heilongjiang,Sichuan,and Yunnan.However,the insurance loss rates in these regions are significantly lower than the disaster cause loss rates,indicating that the efficiency of fire risk management in these areas effectively mitigates the impact of disaster-causing factors,thereby substantially reducing the actual losses associated with forest fire risks.To further enhance the efficiency of forest fire risk management in China,it is imperative to establish a strength forestry management system,develop cooperative mechanisms with advanced regions and key forested areas,and strengthen interprovincial experience exchange and collaboration.
