The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) says that wars and crises of the past 40 years have had a very negative impact on forests in Afghanistan.
On the occasion of March 21, the International Forest Protection Day, FAO said on X on Wednesday that, Afghanistan has 1.78 million hectares of forests and woodlands.
The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, by publishing an informative video, said that in the last 15 years alone, Afghanistan has lost 34% of its forests.
For many years, arbitrary cutting of forests has continued in Afghanistan and the governments have not been able to stop it.
