Deforestation in parts of Africa could be reversed with
changes to land use, a study suggests.
A more strategic approach to managing trees across the
continent could have a positive impact on the changing climate, researchers
say.
A pioneering study of African savannas by the University of
Edinburgh has revealed deforestation in south-central Africa.
This has been driven by rising populations in the aftermath
of war, and increasing demand for trees for agriculture and fuel.
