Change in proportion of land area covered by forests in Botswana

Change in proportion of land area covered by forests in Botswana

Some forest cover is lost to fuelwood that supplies 98% of domestic energy in rural areas and 79% in urban areas (Government of Botswana 2009), but timber operations have been banned since 1992, due to the poor forest resources base (SADC/ SARDC and others 2008). This figure shows the reduction in forest cover.
