An Environmentalist is concerned about the rampant cutting of trees around Juba for wood fuel.
Director of afforestation in the Defunct Jubek State Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry Kennedy Alfred Jada says the level of tree cutting for fuel is worrying.
He calls on people of Juba to embrace tree planting and recover the destroyed forests.
In 2010 a report by the United Nations Food and Agricultural Organization or FAO estimated that South Sudan loses over 2,000 square kilometres of forests and other woodland annually due to deforestation.
The director was speaking to Bakhita radio on Wednesday in Juba.
