 0     forestry grapher/forests/2024-07-10/tree_cover_loss_by_driver/tree_cover_loss_by_driver#forestry   2 major           Tree cover loss from forestry is typically temporary loss from plantation and natural forest harvesting, with some deforestation of primary forests. This type of tree cover loss usually represents temporary loss.   
[]
 This indicator is calculated by Our World in Data based on data from the Global Forest Watch. Time-series data of tree cover loss in areas of forest where tree canopy cover was greater than or equal to 30% in 2000 was extracted and cross-referenced with data on the dominant driver of deforestation in each area, based on [Curtis et al 2018](https://science.sciencemag.org/content/361/6407/1108). Values may be slightly different to those shown on Global Forest Watch due to differences in the country boundaries used.
