Côte d'Ivoire
Côte d'Ivoire has lost more than 80% of its natural forests over the past 50 years. This significant forest loss has led to a drastic reduction in related ecosystem services, including loss of livelihoods from forest resources, and reduction of climate resilience which has directly impacting the agricultural sector. Côte d'Ivoire’s forest loss has been driven primarily by slash-and-burn agricultural practices, as well as unsustainable logging of lumber, wood energy, and the lack of development, planning and management of forest areas.
