The net change in tree cover in Peru has been negative, with a loss of over 1.19 million hectares and a gain of just 430,185 hectares, resulting in a net loss of approximately 762,197 hectares. This represents a 0.97% decline in tree cover, underscoring the urgency for action to mitigate further environmental degradation.
The latest fire incident in Huanuco is a stark reminder of the persistent threat of wildfires to Peru's forests. As the country grapples with the consequences of deforestation, the need for sustainable land management and forest conservation becomes increasingly critical.
