Despite these losses, Sudan has also made gains in tree cover, amounting to over 216,000 hectares, which suggests efforts towards reforestation and natural regeneration.

The single fire incident in West Kordofan is a reminder of the various challenges that the country faces in protecting its tree cover. While the incident itself may appear minor, it is part of a larger narrative of environmental stress in the region.
