The Amazon rainforest, known for its humidity, is facing intensified wildfires, supercharged by a combination of high temperatures, historic drought, and deforestation. Meanwhile, reports from the Global Forest Watch monitoring project indicate a decline in tropical forest loss last year, though global woodlands continue to be under significant threat. Notably, forest destruction in Brazil and Colombia has seen a dramatic decrease, attributed to changes in new political leadership. Despite these positive developments, the world remains far from meeting the global goal of ending deforestation by 2030.
