English: Net forest loss is not the same as deforestation – it measures deforestation plus any gains in forest over a given period.
Over the decade since 2010, the net loss in forests globally was 4.7 million hectares per year. However, deforestation rates were much significantly higher.
The UN FAO estimate that 10 million hectares of forest were cut down each year.
