Global forest loss slows but El Niño fires could threaten progress
New satellite analysis from the World Resources Institute and University of Maryland shows global old-growth tropical forest loss dropped 36% in 2025 to nearly 43,000 sq km, driven by reduced wildfires (due to La Niña conditions) and stronger conservation policies in Brazil, Colombia, and Malaysia. Scientists warn that upcoming El Niño weather patterns and ongoing climate change could increase forest fire risks, threatening progress toward the 2030 COP26 pledge to halt and reverse forest loss; meanwhile, the EU's Copernicus Climate Service reported record heat, wildfires, and glacier melt in Europe in 2024, with nearly half the continent's electricity now coming from renewables.
