Global forest loss between the years 2000 and 2012 was 888,000 square miles (2.3 million square kilometers), while 309,000 square miles (800,000 square kilometers) regrew during that period, according to a study using NASA/USGS Landsat 7 satellite data.
These two charts show annual forest loss totals for Brazil and Indonesia from 2000 to 2012. Of all countries globally, Indonesia exhibited the largest increase in forest loss during this period. Brazil exhibited the largest decline in annual forest loss, confirming reported reductions in forest clearing in the past decade. The causes of this loss include deforestation, wildfires, windstorms and insects. (Data for 2013 will be available soon.)
