The forest ecosystem is one of the most complex ecosystems on the planet. The various influences cause the destabilization of it, and fire-uncontrolled wildfire is one of the main factors. The wildfires which in the blink of an eye turn the beautiful forests in the fire-reveged places, bare lifeless areas, and cause damages worth millions to the forest-based economy and disturbances in business, pose a serious, global, social and economic problem which is always relevant. Realizing the gravity of the situation, Directorate of Forests within the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Water Management initiated and entrused the Institute of Forestry in Belgrade with the task of making the project Wildfires in Period 2003-2007 in 2007, and some results of it are presented in this paper. In the period 2003-2007 in the forest ecosystems of Serbia 579 wildfires in the area of 9872.80 ha were reported. They were caused mostly by humans, occurred mainly in the parts of the year which are critical for their occurrence, and initiated in the part of the day when it is hardest to extinguish them. The results presented in this paper give the opportunity to the lower organizational units and forest owners to take the appropriate measures of readiness and organization of the wildfire protection on time in the forthcoming years.
