The Guardian | How the world lost forest the size of Switzerland in one year @theGuardian | Uploaded 9 months ago | Updated 1 day ago
In 2022 the world lost an area of tropical forest the size of Switzerland - more than 4 million hectares. By 2024 a, staggering 16 million hectares will be lost. That's the equivalent of a tropical
forest the size of Tunisia and the rate of deforestation is getting faster.
96% of deforestation happens in the tropics which is especially bad because tropical forests help regulate weather, store vast amounts of carbon and provide homes for the widest variety of wildlife.
