Abstract

Deforestation dynamics in Pakistan can be attributed to various factors and reasons. This review explores the comparison of green cover for ten years in the capital territory of Pakistan. There is a sever between local interferences and global pledges to achieve forest outcomes. The estimated data of illegal wood harvesting in Pakistan have also been discussed and it is strongly recommended that future forest governance needs to recognize the divergence of performers in the policy growth and the intricacy of local forest contexts. In short, there is a need for policy grit and problem fixate policy-learning routes. © Pakistan Academy of Sciences.
