"The bottom line is that, globally, deforestation has gotten worse, not better, since the beginning of the decade.
We’re only six years away from a critical global deadline to end deforestation, and forests continue to be chopped down, degraded, and set ablaze at alarming rates,”
Ivan Palmegiani, consultant at the research group Climate Focus

It’s not news that #beef production has an outsized environmental impact, but I appreciate this comparison to #coal:
"Relative to other food sources, beef is uniquely carbon-intensive. [cattle] produce seven times as many GHGs per calorie of meat as pigs do, and around 40% more than farmed prawns do. This makes beef a bigger outlier among foods than coal is among sources of electricity: burning coal generates just 14% more GHGs than burning oil, another common fuel.”
