rainforest loss

Tropical woodland decline

Rainforest loss is the destruction or degradation of tropical forest ecosystems through deforestation, logging, fire, or climate change.

The term emphasizes ecological consequence rather than just tree removal—loss of biodiversity, carbon storage, and indigenous habitats: Rainforest loss in the Amazon accelerated last year.

Often discussed alongside climate policy and conservation efforts.
