The trend over the years has shown a persistent issue with tree cover loss, primarily due to shifting agriculture, which accounts for the vast majority of the loss. Other contributing factors include forestry activities, urbanization, and wildfires, with the latter being responsible for a smaller yet significant portion of the tree cover loss.
While there has been some tree cover gain, the overall net change remains negative, indicating that the rate of loss outpaces the rate of recovery. This situation poses a challenge for the country's environmental sustainability and highlights the need for continued monitoring and intervention to mitigate the adverse effects of these environmental changes.
