The impact on Australia's vast land area and tree cover is substantial. With a total area of over 768 million hectares and a tree cover extent of approximately 42 million hectares, the loss represents a significant environmental concern. The net change in tree cover reflects the balance between loss and gain, with disturbances contributing to the overall decrease.
As Australia continues to address these environmental challenges, the focus on wildfire management and forest conservation remains critical. The data underscores the need for ongoing efforts to protect and restore the natural environment, ensuring the sustainability of Australia's unique ecosystems.
