<0.1% (1.20 kha) is the land cover in Belize occupied by agricultural land and 3.8% of the land cover corresponds to pasture (60.3 kha) (GFW, 2024).
187.3 MtCO₂e/year was the greenhouse gas emission associated with Mexico's forests, while between 2001 and 2022 they removed 216 MtCO₂e/year, resulting in a net carbon capture of -129 MtCO₂e/year (GFW, 2024).
65.33 MtCO₂e/year was the annual average of greenhouse gases due to deforestation caused by the expansion of the agricultural frontier in Mexico between 2001 and 2023 (GFW, 2024).
15.1 Gt is the total carbon storage in Mexico, with most of the carbon stored in soil (GFW, 2024).
64.11 kha is the average annual tree cover loss in Guatemala as a direct result of agriculture between 2001 and 2023 (GFW, 2024).
1474.6 kha is the total loss of tree cover in Guatemala as a direct result of agriculture in 20 years (GFW, 2024).
6.11 MtCO₂e/year was the net carbon sequestration in Guatemala's forests between 2001 and 2023, with emissions of 36.1 MtCO₂e/year and a removal of -30 MtCO₂e/year (GFW, 2024).
257.8 kha is the total tree cover loss in Belize as a direct result of agriculture over 20 years (GFW, 2024).
11.20 kha is the average annual tree cover loss in Belize as a direct result of agriculture between 2001 and 2023 (GFW, 2024).
711.3 MtCO₂ of greenhouse gas emissions were recorded in Guatemala between 2001 and 2023 due to deforestation caused by the expansion of the agricultural frontier (GFW, 2024).
