The latest data on forest fires confirms: Fires are becoming more widespread, burning nearly twice as much tree cover today as 20 years ago.

Tropical primary forest loss was 10% higher in 2022 than in 2021 despite international commitments, according to new data on GFW.

New data shows high rates of primary forest loss in 2022. What does the data measure and how does it compare to other official estimates of deforestation?

Carbon monitoring data on GFW provides information on where forests are gaining or losing carbon. In 2023, we updated this model with new data.

Companies and others can use satellite data to help establish whether commodities are deforestation-free as required under the EUDR.

Global Forest Watch hosts three tree cover data sets. We explain the differences between them and how all provide valuable information on forests.

Both GFW and FRA provide valuable information on the state of forests, and they both have important, and complementary, applications.

Data from GFW shows that Natural Protected Areas in Mexico help prevent forest loss, protect biodiversity and mitigate climate change.

Intact forest landscapes are some of the most important ecosystems in the world. But they decreased by 12% between 2000 and 2020.

New data on GFW provides an updated look at tree cover height, tree cover gain, and net change in tree cover worldwide.

New tree cover loss from fires data offers a higher-resolution look than ever before at trends in fire-driven loss over the last 21 years.

2021 tree cover loss data reveals that the tropics lost 11.1 million hectares of tree cover in 2021 — including 3.75 million hectares within tropical primary rainforests, equivalent to a rate of 10 football pitches a minute.
