Agriculturalists Link Deforestation to Coal Export Rise
The article discussed the issue of tree cutting in Egypt and its potential link to charcoal production or road expansions. Dr. Sayed Khalifa, the head of the Farmers Syndicate, clarified that increasing charcoal exports are not related to trees being cut down, and that the types of wood used for charcoal are not from recently felled trees. He emphasized that most of the trees were cut down to make way for roads or metro lines, and that some trees are being planted or rehabilitated. He called for the establishment of a unified management system for afforestation efforts. He pointed out that Egypt owns approximately 175 million trees, and that afforestation efforts are increasing, with efforts to preserve historic trees and expand planted areas in accordance with environmental standards.
