Human activities, combined <br>with climate change, have led to prolonged and higher temperatures during summers and reduced <br>precipitation, increasing the risk of forest fires.

The loss of tree cover also has severe <br>implications for air quality, releasing pollutants into the atmosphere and negatively impacting human <br>health.

The study aims to document the loss of green cover of the forest globally to observe the <br>loss of forest dynamics.</p> |
