Peru's tree cover extent, which spans over 78 million hectares, has seen a net change that includes over 1.19 million hectares of loss and approximately 430 thousand hectares of gain. Disturbances have affected over 3 million hectares, further emphasizing the need for effective management and conservation strategies.
The impact of these environmental changes is profound, affecting not only the biodiversity and ecosystems within Peru but also contributing to global climate concerns. As the country continues to battle deforestation, the focus remains on finding solutions to preserve its vital forest resources for future generations.
