Libya's vegetation drops 6% in 25 years
Reports from the Global Forest Watch Observatory highlighted that Libya lost approximately 390 hectares of its vegetative cover between 2001 and 2025, representing about 6% of its total area. This decline is primarily due to desertification, drought, land degradation, wildfires, and human activities. The losses are mainly concentrated in significant regions such as the Green Mountain (with a loss of around 250 hectares), Al-Marj, and Dura, with a record of 36 hectares lost in 2025 alone. These losses are particularly significant given that deserts cover about 95% of Libya's territory, resulting in limited vegetation cover that impacts the environment and biodiversity—especially considering the effects of droughts and fires that have led to the deterioration of forests and wildlife.
