DescriptionDIAGRAM ON TREE COVER CHANGES IN AMERICA.jpg
English: The graph depicts changes in tree cover from 2002 to 2022 in each state on the American continent. Each circle identifies a state, with its geographic location. The size of the circle indicates the percentage of tree cover loss that each state saw in the period from 2002 to 2022. The color of the circle represents how many hectares of land have gained tree cover again. Finally, the graph around each circle represents the most common causes of deforestation.
A label next to each circle indicates the number of hectares that each state loss.
Percentage values emphasize how even a few hectares of logging can be a significant impact on small ecosystems.
