The impact on Argentina's natural landscape is considerable, with the country losing over 4.66 million hectares of tree cover, which is a significant portion of its total tree-covered area. The loss of tree cover has not only environmental consequences but also affects biodiversity and carbon sequestration capabilities, which are crucial in the fight against climate change.
While there has been some gain in tree cover, it does not offset the losses, leading to a net negative change. The disturbances in tree cover, which include both loss and partial recovery, have also been a factor in the overall decline. The situation calls for a broader discussion on sustainable land management and conservation strategies to mitigate further loss and promote recovery of Argentina's vital tree cover.
