In 2023, the world lost a Bhutan-sized area of rainforest: Study: A drop in forest loss in Brazil and Colombia in 2023 was offset by rises in Indonesia, Laos ...

straitstimes.com/world/in-2023-the-world-lost-a-bhutan-sized-area-of-rainforest-study

Quick Glance: Worldwide Rainforest Loss in 2023

Every minute in 2023, the world lost the equivalent of 10 football pitches of tropical primary forest cover, totaling 3.7 million ha, comparable to Bhutan's size.

Despite dramatic drops in forest loss in Brazil and Colombia, losses increased in countries like Indonesia, Laos, and Bolivia.

These forests are crucial carbon sinks, climate regulators, and livelihood providers for many.

There is a need to mobilize political will to reduce deforestation rates and increase the value of forests in the global economy for sustained progress.

However, Mr. Kissinger was distinguished not only by his Realpolitik, but also by the idealism that permeated his diplomatic practice

Today, this means preserving peace between China and America
