posts: 3026

This table contains the full text for all our old WORDPRESS content in html form. The format is a bit odd as it represents a direct copy from wordpress content that includes a lot of wordpress specific comments that carry some meaning in terms of layout instructions etc.. The html in the content column can thus be rendered as is but will not look identical to the way it looks on our website as several post processing steps are not applied yet. The content should work though as a readable approximation for every post. For easy searching etc, a markdown copy of the content is available in the markdown column. If you want to query all posts (both wordpress and gdocs), use the posts_unified table or the posts_unified_with_content view.

 How are forests distributed across the world? How much do we lose to deforestation every year? 2013-11-14 11:59:36 2022-03-03 15:24:33 https://ourworldindata.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Forests-and-Deforestation.png

 See the distribution of global forests and which countries have the most forest cover. Explore long-term changes in deforestation, and deforestation rates across the world today. See which countries are gaining forest though natural forest expansion and afforestation. The world loses 5 million hectares of forest to deforestation each year. What activities are driving this? Explore palm oil production across the world, and its impacts on the environment. Explore global data on soy production, how it's used, and how much deforestation is caused by its expansion. ## Key articles on Forests and Deforestation ### The world has lost one-third of its forests, but an end of deforestation is possible ourworldindata.org/deforestation#the-world-has-lost-one-third-of-its-forests-but-an-end-of-deforestation-is-possible ### Global deforestation peaked in the 1980s.
