Forest loss in Latin America and the Caribbean from 1990 to 2020: The statistical evidence

Forests play an important role as providers of sustenance and livelihoods for people living in forested areas and are the largest repository of terrestrial biological diversity on the planet. They play a key part in climate change mitigation and adaptation because of their capacity to absorb carbon...
