The environmental impact of these changes is considerable. Tree cover loss has led to gross emissions of CO2e, with certain years like 2012 witnessing emissions close to 103 million megagrams. However, it is important to note that the data does not always specify the drivers behind these losses, which could include natural disturbances or human activities.
The incident in Kermanshah Province serves as a reminder of the vulnerability of Iran's natural landscapes to fire incidents. While the historical data indicates a positive trend in tree cover, the persistence of such incidents highlights the need for continued vigilance and effective management strategies to protect and sustain Iran's forests for future generations.
