The historical data from 2001 to 2019 shows a cumulative tree cover loss of approximately 0.00% of the total land area. While the specific drivers behind these losses are not detailed, the absence of significant wildfire incidents suggests that other factors may be at play in the country's environmental shifts.
The latest fire incident, though isolated, serves as a reminder of the potential threats to Iraq's delicate ecosystems. The country's environmental narrative is one of resilience and recovery, as evidenced by the overall increase in tree cover. However, the ongoing challenges highlight the need for continued vigilance and proactive measures to safeguard Iraq's natural heritage.
