LULC Classification

The forest cover including dense forest, degraded forest, and bush started to decrease since 2002 which was 9%. The decrease was dramatically significant in the last two periods, 20% from 2006-2010 and 25% 2010-2016, that all together the forest lost around 140,0000ha in the last 10 years. It was a shock change as knowing quite all conversion was done manually by smallholders.
