Illegal logging is hurting the environment in Nigeria. President Muhammadu Buhari of Nigeria recently announced a financial account to help protect Nigeria’s forests.
From 2001 to 2021, Nigeria lost 1.14 million hectares of tree cover, equivalent to a 11 per cent decrease in tree cover since 2000 and equal to 587 million tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions, according to Global Forest Watch, a platform that provides data and monitors forests.
