| Fires accounted for more than a third of the world's tree cover losses last year — the largest share on record — according to a satellite-based survey by the University of Maryland and Global Forest Watch. Other threats driving the problem include insect infestations and land cleared for agriculture. The loss of over 97,500 square miles of tree cover, which is roughly the size of Oregon, underscores the challenge ahead for world leaders who promised to halt deforestation by 2030. |
