Wildfires also pose a recurring threat, with the latest incident reported in the Western Province of Zambia. Although the number of wildfire incidents is relatively low, their potential to cause extensive damage is a concern that cannot be overlooked.
The ongoing loss of tree cover not only undermines the ecological integrity of Zambia's landscapes but also threatens the livelihoods of communities dependent on these ecosystems. The data serves as a call to action for concerted efforts to mitigate tree cover loss and implement strategies that balance economic development with environmental stewardship.
