Global Deforestation Summary - 2022

Deforestation: Which countries are still cutting down trees?

Logs from the Amazon

World leaders have pledged to end and reverse deforestation by 2030.

But in Brazil's Amazon rainforest it has hit its highest level in over 15 years - and progress elsewhere is challenging.

Brazil: Illegal logging continues

Some 60% of the Amazon rainforest is in Brazil, and it plays a vital role in absorbing harmful CO2 that would otherwise escape into the atmosphere.

South and Central America

South and Central America are home to many threatened species, endangered species and critically endangered species at risk of extinction, like the Andean Bear, the Andean Cat, the Andean Hairy Armadillo, the Andean Titi Monkey, the Giant Anteater, the Golden Lion Tamarin, the Jaguar, the Little Spotted Cat, the Mountain Tapir, the Red-handed Howler Monkey, and more.
