Despite these losses, Sudan has also made gains in tree cover. The net change in tree cover over the years shows a net gain of 131,289 hectares after accounting for losses and gains, equating to an overall change of approximately 3.45%. This suggests efforts towards reforestation or natural regeneration are having a positive effect, albeit on a small scale compared to the total area.
The latest fire incident, while isolated, serves as a reminder of the vulnerability of Sudan's natural landscape to human and natural disturbances. It underscores the need for continued attention to land management practices and the importance of sustainable agriculture to mitigate future environmental impacts.
