The trend over the years has been alarming, with the highest annual loss recorded in 2014, at over 181,851 hectares. While there have been fluctuations, the overall trajectory points to a persistent challenge in preserving Cameroon's forested areas. This ongoing loss of tree cover not only impacts the local ecosystems and biodiversity but also has broader implications for climate change, given the role of forests in carbon sequestration.
As the international community continues to grapple with environmental sustainability, the situation in Cameroon serves as a reminder of the urgent need for concerted efforts to protect and restore forest landscapes for the benefit of current and future generations.
