World Deforestation Statistics

Tree cover loss did not just continue, it shifted in 2025 as deforestation pressures pushed deeper into forests that once seemed harder to reach. This page lets you compare where the loss accelerates and who is most affected, so the next policy decision can be based on what changed rather than what was expected.

Forests are disappearing fast enough that the latest deforestation reports for 2025 put a sharp spotlight on where land clearing is accelerating and where it’s slowing. The tricky part is that the totals can look one way while the drivers, regions, and forest types reveal a very different picture. By comparing the most recent statistics side by side, you’ll see just how uneven deforestation pressures really are.
