RELEASE: Global Forest Loss Shatters Records in 2024, Fueled by Massive Fires
Global #forest loss surged to record highs in 2024, driven by a catastrophic rise in #fires, according to new data from the University of Maryland’s GLAD Lab, made available on World Resources Institute’s Global Forest Watch platform. Loss of tropical primary #forests alone reached 6.7 million hectares — nearly twice as much as in 2023 and an area nearly the size of Panama, at the rate of 18 soccer fields every minute.
For the first time on our record, #fires — not #agriculture — were the leading cause of tropical #PrimaryForest loss, accounting for nearly 50% of all destruction. This marks a dramatic shift from recent years, when fires averaged just 20%. Meanwhile, tropical primary forest loss driven by other causes also jumped by 14%, the sharpest increase since 2016.

New data shows fires triggered unprecedented global forest loss in 2024, releasing more than four times the emissions from all air travel in 2023 — with devastating impacts on people and the climate, according to Global Forest Watch's annual analysis
Drax owns seven #PelletMills in #BritishColumbia after acquiring BC’s largest #WoodPellets producer, #PinnacleRenewableEnergy Inc in 2021.
This analysis focuses on north central BC, where all material feeding #Drax’s pellet mills originates from #PrimaryForest, whether it arrives directly from #logging operations or byproduct from sawmills. Majority of commercial logging taking place in BC is of #OldGrowth #forests.

#Deforestation in the Brazilian #Amazon rainforest surged to a new record high for the month of April. Last month’s loss nearly doubled the amount reported last April which itself set a record. #Deforestation has surged under the right-wing presidency of Jair Bolsonaro.

The National Parks Board (NParks) unveiled the Forest Restoration Action Plan for the Bukit Timah Nature Reserve, Central Catchment Nature Reserve and Nature Park Network today. The Action Plan will chart the restoration that will be undertaken over the next 10 years to regenerate the secondary forests in the Nature Parks buffering the two Nature Reserves, as well as disturbed patches within the Reserves. This will assist the forests to regenerate and approximate a mature forest landscape in time.
