The year 2023 marked a significant spike in tree cover loss, with over 11,067 hectares affected, indicating an urgent need for attention to the country's land management practices. The cumulative effect of these losses over time has not only reduced Chad's natural carbon sinks but also affected biodiversity and the livelihoods of local communities.
The situation in Chad is a stark reminder of the delicate balance between agricultural practices, land management, and environmental conservation. As the country faces these challenges, the global community continues to observe the impact of such environmental changes on the region's stability and the health of our planet.
