Govt targets ‘zero deforestation’ in Pakistan July 10, 2021 Islamabad : With the government trying hard to increase forest cover in Pakistan, the trees are still being removed from land measuring 8,000 hectares every year at a deforestation rate that is the second-highest in Asia, after Afghanistan. The reports compiled by various independent sources pointed out that the trees in North and South Waziristan are being fast removed by the timber mafia that uses them for charcoal that is in great demand in neighbouring Afghanistan. Charcoal is the only cooking fuel available in some provinces of Afghanistan close to Pakistan. The increasing number of housing societies in the country is also one of the main reasons for the removal of trees. The provision of residential units to the people and protection of forests are two issues that are inter-related with each other and must be addressed at the earliest.
