The Congo Basin cut its forest lossby more than a thirdafter a spike.
Six countries lost 6,215 km² of tropical moist forest in 2024 and 3,890 km² in 2025, the EU's Joint Research Centre finds. That is still above the 2022 low, and degradation rose. All six pledged in Glasgow to halt forest loss by 2030.
