The world lost an area of old-growth tropical rainforest the size of Switzerland last year, as deforestation of the Brazilian Amazon continued unabated, a forest monitoring project report said on Tuesday.
Global Forest Watch, which is backed by the nonprofit World Resources Institute and draws on forest data collected by the University of Maryland,That was the final year of Jair Bolsonaro's government in Brazil, which accounted for more than 40% of all losses.to reach zero deforestation by 2030, tropical forest loss last year exceeded 2021 levels.
Global Forest Watch assessed 'primary forests', which includes mature forests that have not been cleared or regrown in recent history. Strict Indonesian policies, such as a moratorium on new licences in primary forest and peatland, helped the turnabout. Commodity agriculture was largely responsible for deforestation in Bolivia, experts said, as the government supports agribusiness expansion. Bolivia is one of few nations not to join the zero-deforestation pledge.. The Global Forest Watch analysis found deforestation in 2022 was more than 10,000 sq km in excess of what would be needed to halt it by 2030.
