Over the past few decades, Togo has been facing numerous
environmental challenges, including the degradation of its plant and forest cover. This is
mainly due to anthropogenic actions, including the use of
firewood and coal for domestic energy needs; bushfires
and the exploitation of lumber and services; and unsustainable agricultural practices.
These factors cause climate change that negatively affect
the ecosystem, thus causing a gradual deterioration of the living
environment in both urban and rural areas. A concern shared by the community at the
international level.
