A primary evaluation of Syrian forest damage since 2011: A case study of Alhamam and Alboz forest sites

Forests and trees make vital contributions to well-being, economic activities, ecosystem functioning and global system dynamics. There has been a lack of studies on the evaluation of the drivers of Syrian forest damage during the current conflict. This study, co-authored by Gary Watmough of the Jameel Observatory, estimates the damage since 2011 in the Alhamam and Alboz forest sites in Idlib province of Syria and evaluates the drivers of this damage.
