Adding to the environmental challenges, the latest incident data from 2025-01-17 reports a fire alert in the Haut-Mbomou region. Although the count is currently at one, the presence of fire incidents is an additional threat to the remaining tree cover and poses risks to biodiversity and local livelihoods.
The CAR's rich forests are a vital part of the country's ecosystem, and the continued loss of tree cover could have far-reaching consequences for climate regulation, soil health, and wildlife habitats. The data presents a clear call to action to address the underlying causes of deforestation and to promote sustainable land management practices.
