PAKISTAN LOSING 11.000 HECTARES OF FOREST ANNUALLY
Pakistan is losing approximately 11,000 hectares of forest annually due to ongoing deforestation, according to the Pakistan Economic Survey 2026. The report highlights growing environmental concerns as the country's forest resources continue to face pressure from land-use changes, illegal logging, urban expansion, and other human activities.
The survey states that Pakistan's total forest cover has declined to around 4.11 million hectares, representing only 4.7% of the country's total land area. Among the various forest types, coniferous forests account for the largest share, followed by scrub forests, riverine forests, mangrove ecosystems, and plantation forests.
