Despite some gains in tree cover, the net loss remains significant, with a net change of over 727,000 hectares lost, indicating a negative trend in the country's forest health. This trend poses a threat to biodiversity, climate regulation, and the livelihoods of local communities that depend on these ecosystems. The data calls for a broader discussion on sustainable land management practices and conservation efforts to mitigate further loss and promote recovery of the Central African Republic's forests.
