Environmental issues in Afghanistan predate the political turmoil of the past few decades. Forests have been depleted by centuries of grazing and farming, practices which have only increased with modern population growth. In Afghanistan, environmental conservation and economic concerns are not at odds; with over 44% of the population dependent on herding or farming, the welfare of the environment is critical to the economic welfare of the people. In 2007, the World Health Organization released a report ranking Afghanistan as the lowest among non-African nations in deaths from environmental hazards.

  • Los problemas ambientales en Afganistán son anteriores a la agitación política de las últimas décadas. Los bosques y humedales se han agotado tras siglos de pastoreo y agricultura, prácticas que solo han ido aumentando con el crecimiento demográfico moderno. En Afganistán, la conservación del medio ambiente y los problemas económicos no están en desacuerdo; con el 80 % de la población dependiente del pastoreo o la agricultura, la conservación del medio ambiente es esencial para el bienestar económico de la población.​ En 2007, la Organización Mundial de la Salud lanzó un informe que clasifica a Afganistán como el país más pobre entre las naciones no-africanas en fallecimientos relacionados por los problemas del medio ambiente.​ (es)
