The data reveals a fluctuating pattern of tree cover loss over the years, with the highest recorded in 2014 at nearly 200,000 hectares. While the causes vary, shifting agriculture remains the consistent leading cause, followed by forestry. Wildfires, although contributing to a smaller fraction of the loss, still pose a significant threat due to their potential to cause rapid and widespread damage.
The net change in tree cover indicates a concerning trend of more loss than gain, emphasizing the need for sustainable land management practices to balance agricultural needs with environmental conservation.
