Fox News reports that the global loss of primary
forests in the world's tropics declined slightly
in 2023 compared to the year before.

lost about 14,000 square miles of tropical primary forest,
sometimes referred to as old-growth forests, in 2023.

warns that declining losses in Colombia and Brazil
were mostly offset by increased losses in other places.

tropical primary forests to be treasure troves
of biodiversity, with the Amazon rainforest home
to an estimated 10% of Earth's known species.
