Numerous threats and drivers impact biodiversity and forests, including armed conflicts, displacement of people, poor governance, poverty, artisanal mining, transhumance, unsustainable land use practices, shifting agriculture, charcoal production, and wildlife poaching and trafficking, among others. Coupled with the negative impacts of climate change, these challenges accelerate the rates of biodiversity and forest loss.
