TROPICAL TREE COVER LOSS ACCELERATES
@globalforests#WRIatWFC
TROPICAL FOREST LOSS
SOURCE: GLOBAL FOREST RESOURCES ASSESSMENT 2015; HANSEN/UMD/GOOGLE/USGS/NASA
FRA reports 8.8 million ha of gross natural forest loss per year (2010-2015).
80% of this loss occurred in the tropics
UMD/Google reports 10 million ha of tropical tree cover loss in 2014
