Résumé
conducted. The results revealed a significant increase in anthropogenic activities in recent
decades, with a 25.69 per cent increase in land dedicated to agriculture and the expansion of urban
areas. However, an optimistic outlook for 2050 suggests a regression in anthropogenic activities
and an increase in natural areas, with 5.67 per cent increase for wooded savannahs and 78.37 per
cent increase for shrub and grassy savannahs, respectively. These findings underscore the
importance of rethinking land management policies in order to promote more sustainable
development. Sustainable agricultural practices, integrated urban planning and the protection of
natural ecosystems appear to be promising avenues for reconciling human needs with
environmental preservation.
