The impact of urbanization, although smaller in scale compared to agriculture, is also a contributing factor to the loss of tree cover. The latest incident data from 2024 indicates ongoing challenges, with a recent wildfire alert in the Central Province of Zambia, underscoring the persistent threat of such events to the region's tree cover.
As Zambia continues to grapple with these environmental challenges, the data underscores the need for sustainable land management practices and effective strategies to mitigate tree cover loss and prevent wildfires.
