Pakistan - August 17, 2025 In the mountainous region of Gilgit-Baltistan, deforestation is a common practice where trees are cut on high slopes. When heavy rains trigger flash floods, the cut wood is swept down through valleys by powerful water currents. Local children often gather these drifting logs and branches from riverbanks and flood channels, using them as a valuable source of firewood or to support their families. This scene reflects both the harsh realities of rural life and the environmental impact of unchecked deforestation in the region.
