This trend of habitat destruction is alarming, as it not only leads to a reduction in biodiversity but also contributes to increased carbon emissions, which exacerbate climate change. The loss of tree cover further jeopardizes the livelihoods of local communities that depend on these ecosystems for sustenance and economic activities.
The data suggests a critical need for sustainable land management practices and conservation efforts to reverse the negative trend and protect Chad's remaining tree cover for future generations.
