The destruction of global forests increased in 2023, which contradicts the promises made by 140 countries to halt deforestation by the decade's end.
Despite attempts at voluntary cuts in deforestation, these efforts have not worked effectively; strong regulations and increased funding for forest conservation are necessary.
In Brazil, a significant success was noted as the new government reduced deforestation by 62% in its first year, showcasing what can be achieved with focused efforts.
Experts warn that with only six years until the critical deadline to end deforestation, the current trend is alarming and requires immediate global action.
