Systematic destruction of Acacia Forest in Sudan
Illegal logging systematically destroying Sudan’s Acacia forests, threatening local livelihoods and biodiversity.
Reports indicate that Sudan’s Acacia forests are under systematic destruction due to illegal logging and charcoal production, which are causing severe environmental degradation. The Acacia forest supports key livelihoods and major industries such as gum Arabic production, and is under escalating threat in several regions. The loss of forest cover is eroding carbon sinks, biodiversity corridors, and traditional land‑use systems, increasing the country’s vulnerability to climate shocks and desertification.
