Analyzing the data, it is evident that forestry activities have been the leading cause of tree cover loss, with shifting agriculture also playing a substantial role. The impact of these activities on the environment is further compounded by the emissions of CO2 equivalent, which have been substantial over the years.
The recent wildfire incident in Manzini serves as a stark reminder of the vulnerabilities that Swaziland's natural landscapes face. With a stable tree cover of 568,329 hectares, the country's environmental health hinges on effective management and conservation efforts to mitigate further losses and promote recovery and sustainability of its forests.
