1.75 Mha of tree cover was lost between 2001 and 2023 in Guatemala. A 23% decrease in tree cover area since 2000 (GFW, 2024).
22% was the decrease in the total area of primary forest in Guatemala between 2002 and 2023 (GFW, 2024).
568 kha of primary rainforest were lost between 2002 and 2023 in Guatemala, representing 33% of its total tree cover loss in the same time period (GFW, 2024).
15.1 Gt is the total carbon storage in Mexico, with most of the carbon stored in soil (GFW, 2024).
