NO The Côte d’Ivoire has known a huge loss of its primary forest cover (during the period 1960 to 2017) with more than 3 million hectares of forest loss . Based on deforestation dataset ("High-resolution global maps of 21st-century forest cover change.", 2013), we can observe that trends of deforested areas increase with a peak of deforestation in 2017 and about 500,000 hectares of forest loss.As a result of the significant land deforestation land degradation which has caused important tree scarcity, timber production has been steadily declining in recent years.
