Deforestation in #Colombia falls to lowest level in 23 years https://www.theguardian.com/world/article/2024/jul/10/deforestation-in-colombia-falls-to-lowest-level-in-23-years

"The amount of #forest loss fell from 1,235 sq km in 2022 to 792 sq km in 2023 – a 36% decrease... Most of the environmental gains were in the #Amazon #rainforest, where the Colombian government is focusing much of its conservation efforts... Runaway #deforestation has been reined in and reversed under Gustavo Petro’s government, the first leftist administration in Colombia’s history."

#News: Vast concessions in #Malaysia's forests threaten millions of hectares of rich natural habitats and risk the country's commitment to 50 percent #forest cover, a report warned Tuesday.

Up to 3.2 million hectares could be destroyed potentially unleashing enormous carbon emissions and compromising key #animal habitats. #ClimateAction #animals #palmoil #Boycott4Wildlife

#Road building almost always precedes #forest loss, and road density is by far the strongest correlate of #deforestation out of 38 #biophysical and #socioeconomic factors.
Findings of the study imply that the most vital #conservation function of protected areas is limiting roads and road-related environmental disruption. They suggest that burgeoning, poorly studied ghost roads are among the gravest of all direct #threats to #tropical forests.

https://news.mongabay.com/2024/01/thousands-of-tree-species-at-risk-of-extinction-in-atlantic-forest-study/

#TragedyOfEnclosure #CattleWreckedLandscape: The Atlantic Forest, located along Brazil’s southern coast, has been in dire straits for decades, with expanding cities and #agriculture leaving only a small fraction of the #forest standing today. But the situation might be even worse than previously thought.
Several thousand tree species in the forest are threatened with extinction, a new study has found. Over 80% of endemic tree species are at risk of going extinct — and that’s a conservative estimate, the researchers said.

#SavingCarbonSinks: Ecuadorian social #movements have bypassed pro-extractivist #politicians with a national #referendum to keep #oil from Block 43 also known as “Yasuní ITT,” a concession in the deepest part of the Amazonian protected Yasuní National #Forest, in the ground. While movements around the world have successfully achieved #mining moratoria, this is an important new strategy for #environmental and #Indigenous #rights activists.

"Indigenous peoples in Brazil are widely regarded as land protectors, and a new study of the Atlantic Forest confirms it."

“If we want to save the forest, we need the government to officially recognize that this is our land.”
