Natural forests are a precious wealth and a source of true identity that contribute to the preservation of important sites of natural heritage with the possibility of benefiting from them over generations. They are an inexhaustible wealth if they are well managed, organized and protected, the vegetation has a vital role in maintaining the environmental balance and improving the environment and public health, in addition to its economic, protective, aesthetic, recreational, social and educational benefits.

Most of these sites have recently been affected by natural disasters, especially fires that swept across large areas of western Syria and covered a large area from the coastal region to the central region. The losses they suffered appear to be large and extended over vast areas, in addition to the deterioration of the environmental and ecological systems and their imbalance within the region, due to climate change, which combines strong winds with high temperatures.
The study aims to choose the best strategy to increase the efficiency of fire management in Syrian Coast Region forests, taking into account the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), using Analytic Hierarchy Method (AHP). Deducing the main and secondary criteria necessary to build the decision matrix and developing final strategies to work according to it, based on references and previous studies in the field of research.
