The latest fire alert serves as a reminder of the continuous threat to Pakistan's natural resources. The country's history of tree cover loss, primarily driven by shifting agriculture, which accounted for a significant percentage of the loss, and forestry activities, underscores the importance of sustainable land management practices. Urbanization also plays a role, although to a lesser extent.
As Pakistan grapples with these environmental issues, the focus on reforestation and sustainable practices becomes increasingly crucial to ensure the preservation of its natural heritage for future generations.
