    Deforestation has reduced the area of primary forests by over 40 million hectares, an area the size of Germany and Denmark combined. Deforestation is primarily driven by the expansion of livestock farming, mining, and commercial wood extraction, which often targets rich, primary forests. Forests play a key role in stabilizing the climate by storing large amounts of carbon, and deforestation releases those stores of carbon dioxide, worsening climate change. Urgent action is needed to stop deforestation globally in order to fight climate change.
