Indigenous Forests Are Some of the Amazon’s Last Carbon Sinks

The latest data shows that forest fires are getting worse, burning more than twice as much tree cover today as they did 20 years ago.

Global Forest Watch is becoming Global Nature Watch, reflecting the next evolution of our work to expand data and coverage beyond forests.
