Understanding Forest Loss
Forest loss measures the destruction of forest ecosystems worldwide. About 40,000 hectares are lost every day globally. Our deforestation counter tracks tree loss,rainforest destruction, and forest depletion in real-time.
Also known as deforestation, tree cover loss, and forest clearing, this metric is closely related to climate change, biodiversity loss, and carbon emissions.
Our forest loss data covers multiple dimensions including by region, by country, primary causes, and environmental impact.
