The CAR's forests, which cover a substantial portion of the country's land area, are a critical resource for both the environment and the local populations that depend on them. The loss of tree cover has implications for biodiversity, climate regulation, and the livelihoods of communities. The data indicates a pressing need for sustainable land management practices that can reconcile agricultural needs with forest conservation.
