Over the past two decades, Argentina has seen a fluctuating but overall downward trend in tree cover. The country's tree cover extent, which is a critical part of its natural heritage and a vital carbon sink, has been consistently compromised by human activities and natural disturbances.
The impact of these losses is not just ecological but also economic, as forests provide numerous resources and services essential for the country's sustainability. The recent fire incident in Córdoba Province is a stark reminder of the vulnerability of Argentina's forests and the need for concerted efforts to protect and restore these vital ecosystems.
