The trend of tree cover loss has been escalating, with the most significant losses recorded in the years 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, and 2017. The data indicates that the loss due to shifting agriculture has been consistently high, stressing the need for sustainable land management practices. The loss due to urbanization, though not as significant as agriculture, still poses a threat to the country's forested areas.
Guinea's environmental landscape is at a critical juncture, with the need for concerted efforts to mitigate tree cover loss and prevent future wildfire incidents. The country's natural resources are under pressure, and the recent wildfire incident in Kankan is a call to action to preserve Guinea's green heritage.
