That's one pitch lost every 6 seconds for 24 years straight
Of 2024's total, 1.7M ha was primary forest deforestation and 2.8M ha was fire damage.
When forests are destroyed, the carbon stored in trees and soil is released as CO₂ — accelerating climate change.

How Much Has Been Lost?
Since 2001, satellites have detected tree cover loss across 97.4M hectares — roughly 17.7% of the Amazon biome.
Roughly 3 percentage points from the tipping point
Scientists estimate that 20–25% total loss could trigger an irreversible transition from rainforest to savanna.
The annual data above is verified but delayed. Below: live satellite detections of probable forest disturbance, updated daily.
