Despite the challenges, Sudan has seen a net gain in tree cover, suggesting efforts towards reforestation or natural regeneration. This positive trend, however, is juxtaposed with the ongoing loss, highlighting the delicate balance between environmental conservation and agricultural practices.
The incident in South Kordofan underscores the need for continued vigilance and sustainable land management practices to protect Sudan's natural resources. The country's vast area of over 187 million hectares, with a tree cover extent of approximately 72,712 hectares, is a testament to its rich biodiversity that requires safeguarding for future generations.
