The cumulative effect of these losses is a significant concern for Albania's biodiversity and ecological balance. The country's tree cover extent stands at 648,680.05 hectares, which has been under pressure from various anthropogenic activities. Notably, there has been no significant data attributed to shifting agriculture or wildfires in the most recent years, suggesting a focused impact from specific human-driven activities.
This pattern of tree cover loss not only affects the natural landscape but also has broader implications for climate change, as forests play a crucial role in carbon sequestration. The environmental impact of these incidents calls for a broader discussion on sustainable land management and conservation strategies to mitigate further loss and promote recovery of Albania's green cover.
