This graph shows that the majority of the map is covered in lighter green, thus showing an overall decrease in forest-covered areas around the world. A few -- including Brazil, home to the Amazon Rainforest -- have experienced staggering amounts of deforestation in a very recent timeframe.

The Red List Index is an indicator of the overall extinction risk for species in a particular region, with a lower number showing increased risk. The several red and dark red regions in the map above indicate that in the past 25 years, the extinction risk for species has increased in many areas.

In just the last 30 years, the amount of forested area has changed a lot. While it may seem that some regions have experienced insignificant deforestation, the reality is that many critical habitats have been severely degraded, leading to substantial biodiversity loss and disruption of ecosystem services.

The Living Planet Index (LPI) is a measure of the state of global biodiversity, tracking the population abundance of thousands of vertebrate species. This graph displays a clear decreasing trend in the LPIs of various major regions from 1970 to 2018, showing the drastic loss of biodiversity over time.
