   What are the risks of deforestation?

Forest loss and damage is the cause of around 10% of global warming. There’s simply no way we can fight the climate crisis if we don’t stop deforestation.

   • Deforestation harms biomass and worsens climate change. A recent paper in Nature Communications used climate models and satellite data to measure the climate impact of tropical deforestation on the forests left behind.
   • Deforestation makes air pollution worse. Forests are essential to clean air. Through photosynthesis, the leaves of trees take in carbon dioxide and water.
   • Deforestation increases the risk for more pandemics. Deforestation makes pandemics more likely. Why? Many viral diseases (like COVID-19 and Ebola) come from animals living in tropical forests.
   • Deforestation threatens the creation of medicines. Forests not only shield humans from dangerous pathogens. They’re a source of medicine and medical supplies.

   Dec 4, 2018 · In 2022, deforestation accounted for about 7% of global emissions. In some parts of the Amazon from 2010 to 2018, emissions from deforestation and forest fires exceeded how much carbon forests sequestered, turning them into a net source of carbon emissions rather than a carbon sink.
