Wildfires, although not the leading cause, have had a notable impact on both tree cover loss and CO2 emissions. Urbanization has also contributed to the reduction of tree cover, albeit to a lesser extent than other factors.
The data suggests a complex interplay of anthropogenic and natural factors leading to the degradation of Mexico's forests. The recent fire alert in Tabasco is a stark reminder of the ongoing threat to the country's natural resources. As tree cover continues to decline, the need for sustainable management and conservation efforts becomes increasingly critical.
