Sudan's tree cover extent is a mere fraction of its total land area, and the net change in tree cover over the years shows a concerning trend. While there has been a net gain, the pace of tree cover loss due to shifting agriculture and other factors suggests an ongoing battle to maintain and restore the country's forests.
The environmental implications of these losses are significant, affecting not only the local ecosystems but also contributing to global concerns such as climate change. The data underscores the importance of addressing the drivers of deforestation, particularly shifting agriculture, to mitigate the adverse effects on Sudan's natural heritage.
