http://www.globalforestwatch.org/english/gabon/forests.htm

Of Gabon’s total land area of approximately 26.8 million hectares, forests are estimated to cover 17 to 21 million hectares, or 60 to 80 percent of the country. (This is a quote from the above site).

According to the article, it should have only taken 2 years to completely deforest this country. So - what gives?

There is ABSOLUTELY no chance that there will EVER be a forest fire in ANWAR if only Oil and Gas well can be drilled there.
