Forestry activities have also contributed to the decline, albeit to a lesser extent than agriculture. Wildfires, while not the leading cause, have become an increasingly visible threat, with the latest incident reported in the Beni Department of Bolivia. The cumulative impact of these drivers not only reduces the tree cover but also contributes to significant carbon emissions, further exacerbating climate change concerns.
The data underscores the need for urgent attention to the country's land management practices and the implementation of sustainable solutions to curb the loss of vital forest ecosystems.
