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. #deforestation #climate #climatecrisis #rainforest #trees #news
