The trend of tree cover loss in Chad is alarming, with the highest recorded loss in 2022 amounting to 5,444 hectares. This loss not only impacts the local biodiversity and habitats but also contributes to the country's carbon emissions, with the total gross emissions from tree cover loss amounting to nearly 2.97 million metric tons of CO2 equivalent in the same year.
The loss of tree cover is a critical environmental issue that requires immediate attention and action to prevent further degradation of Chad's natural resources and to safeguard the future of its environment and the well-being of its inhabitants.
