[Report shows that global forest loss will slow down in 2025] October 14th, a report released on the 13th showed that global forest loss will slow down in 2025, but this improvement momentum may not be sustainable. According to French news, the "Forest Declaration Assessment" annual report jointly released by a number of research institutions and organizations shows that about 7 million hectares of forests around the world will be permanently damaged in 2025, approaching the land area of ​​Ireland. This is a 15% decrease from the previous year's reduction. Erin Mattson, one of the report's authors, said at a media briefing that while the slowdown in global forest loss in 2025 is encouraging, "so far this is an exception rather than a new trend." The report warns that if the expected super strong El Niño in 2026-2027 becomes reality, it may lead to further intensification of drought and fire risks in tropical forest areas. (CCTV News)
