Climate change is making forest fires worse, and vice-versa — creating a vicious “climate-fire feedback loop.”

New research shows that naturally regenerating “secondary forests” could be especially powerful for fighting climate change.

New data provides a more detailed picture than ever before on the local, regional and global causes of tree cover loss.
