Wildfires have also contributed to the loss, although to a lesser extent compared to shifting agriculture. The recent fire incident in Batha adds to the cumulative impact on Chad's natural resources. The trend of tree cover loss in Chad is a clear indicator of the environmental challenges the country faces. It underscores the need for sustainable land management practices to mitigate further loss and promote recovery of the affected areas.
The data suggests a critical need for interventions that balance agricultural practices with environmental conservation to ensure the long-term health of Chad's ecosystems. As the country grapples with these environmental issues, the recent fire incident serves as a reminder of the fragility of its natural landscape and the urgency to protect it.
