The loss of tree cover has not only ecological consequences but also contributes to the emission of greenhouse gases. The data reveals that the total gross emissions of CO2 equivalent have reached alarming levels, with millions of metric tons released into the atmosphere as a result of tree cover loss.
This environmental challenge is not just a national issue but a global concern, as forests play a critical role in carbon sequestration and maintaining biodiversity. The incident in Dibër County is a stark reminder of the fragility of natural habitats and the need for concerted efforts to protect and restore forested areas.
