The single fire incident reported on December 16, 2024, in Haut-Mbomou, while seemingly isolated, is a stark reminder of the persistent threats to CAR's forests. The cumulative effect of these incidents over time can lead to significant environmental degradation, affecting biodiversity, climate, and the livelihoods of local communities.
