The trend of tree cover loss in Mozambique has shown fluctuating patterns, with some years experiencing higher rates of loss than others. However, the overall trajectory remains negative, with urbanization also contributing to the decline, albeit to a much lesser extent than agriculture.
The loss of tree cover not only affects the environment but also has broader implications for biodiversity, climate change, and the livelihoods of local communities. As Mozambique continues to grapple with these environmental challenges, the need for sustainable land management practices becomes increasingly apparent to safeguard the remaining tree cover and prevent further loss.
