Despite government afforestation efforts, civil society organizations and local communities, 11,000 hectares of forest coverage are lost every year. Great threats to forests in Pakistan include deforestation, forest fires, climate change and conversion of forest lands in agriculture, commercial and housing schemes. This was declared by the World Fund for Nature-Pakistan (WWF-Pakistan). In addition, he declared that protecting forests in Pakistan requires an approach that meets government institutes, conservation organizations and local communities. Pakistan is a poor country in the forest, with only five percent of the total area under forests. Most of the Earth falls under arid and semi -arid regions, so the low precipitation deteries the growth of forests. In areas where forests remain, their wealth and health are decreasing due to threats such as the growing population.
