Forestry activities, urbanization, and wildfires have also played roles in tree cover loss, although to a lesser extent than agriculture. The data indicates that while there has been some gain in tree cover, the overall trend remains negative, with losses outpacing gains.
The situation in Tanzania underscores the urgent need for sustainable land management practices that balance the needs of development with environmental conservation. The continued loss of tree cover not only threatens the ecological integrity of the region but also poses challenges for climate regulation and the livelihoods of local communities.
