Wildfires have also played a role, although to a lesser extent than shifting agriculture. The latest incident reported on August 20, 2024, was a single fire alert in the Cuando Cubango Province, highlighting the ongoing threat of wildfires to the region's tree cover.
The environmental impact of these losses is significant, with the loss of tree cover contributing to habitat destruction, biodiversity loss, and the disruption of ecological balance. The data underscores the need for a broader discussion on sustainable land management practices to mitigate these losses and preserve Angola's natural heritage for future generations.
