A map highlights the global deforestation and net forest loss from 2000 to 2015, with areas of significant deforestation highlighted in orange and smaller patches marked in yellow.

Areas of the world experiencing tree cover loss

Deforestation: Net Loss, 2000-2015

North America: In Canada, deforestation is visible in the taiga and boreal forests near Alaska, north-central regions, western and southern Ontario, and eastern Quebec. In the United States, deforestation affects central Alaska, parts of California, the Rocky Mountains, Minnesota, a broad area from east Texas northeastward to the western Appalachians, much of the Northeast, and southern Florida. Mexico experiences deforestation along the Pacific and Gulf coasts and in southern regions. Central America shows extensive deforestation from southern Guatemala through Panama. South America: Deforestation is extensive from Venezuela through Colombia and Ecuador to Peru east of the Andes. In Brazil, significant tree cover loss occurs along the Amazon and its tributaries, and is widespread throughout central Brazil, northern Argentina, and Paraguay. Africa: Net forest loss is observed south of the Sahel from West Africa to southern Sudan, in western Ethiopia, and across Central Africa to the southern borders of Angola and Zambia. East Africa, including Uganda, Tanzania, Mozambique, and western Madagascar, also experiences deforestation. Europe: Extensive deforestation is seen in Western Europe and the Balkans, with smaller patches in Scotland, northern Sweden, and western Spain. Eastern Europe and eastern Russia face sporadic deforestation. Large areas of deforestation spread across Russia's taiga and boreal forests from Kazakhstan eastward through Siberia to the Far East. Southwest Asia: Minimal deforestation, primarily along Turkey's seacoasts. South Asia: Deforestation affects Nepal south of the Himalayas, northeast, east-central, and southwest India, parts of Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka. Southeast Asia: Severe deforestation is noted in Myanmar, Thailand, Cambodia, the Philippines, and New Guinea, with additional patches across the mainland and the Indonesian islands. East Asia: Central China, North and South Korea, and Japan experience extensive deforestation. Oceania: In Australia, deforestation impacts areas along the eastern coast and in the southwest.

A world map illustrates seasonal precipitation from April to September across different regions globally, measured in inches.

Average precipitation between April 1 and September 30

Seasonal Precipitation, April to September

Areas with the least seasonal precipitation, April to September, ranging from 0 to 5 inches, are marked in the lightest blue. Regions include the Arctic areas of Canada (Northern Yukon, Northwest Territories), Greenland, the western United States (Nevada, Western Utah), parts of Mexico (Baja California), central Asia (Iran, Kazakhstan, Mongolia), the Middle East (Saudi Arabia, Yemen), northern Africa (Morocco, Algeria, Libya, Egypt), and interior regions of Australia (Northern Territory, South Australia).Regions with 5 to 10 inches of precipitation, shown in light blue, cover central Canada (British Columbia, Northern Alberta), parts of the western United States (Colorado, Wyoming, Western Kansas), central Europe (Norway, Sweden, Finland), parts of northern Asia (Eastern Kazakhstan, Northern China), and eastern regions of Australia (New South Wales).Areas receiving 10 to 20 inches, highlighted in medium blue, include the central United States (Iowa, Missouri, Illinois), parts of northern South America (Venezuela, Northern Brazil), northern Europe (United Kingdom, Denmark), eastern Europe (Poland, Belarus), parts of Asia (India, Pakistan, Afghanistan), and northern regions of Africa (Tunisia, Libya).Regions with 20 to 40 inches, marked in blue, span the southeastern United States (Louisiana, Alabama, Georgia), central South America (Bolivia, Paraguay), central Africa (Gabon, Democratic Republic of Congo), western Europe (France, Germany, Switzerland), parts of South Asia (India, Nepal), and southeastern Australia (Victoria, Tasmania).Darker blue areas, indicating 40 to 80 inches of precipitation, include the Pacific Northwest of the United States (Washington, Oregon), the Andean regions of South America (Colombia, Ecuador, Peru), Southeast Asia (Myanmar, Thailand, Vietnam), parts of Indonesia (Sumatra, Java), and the island of New Guinea.The highest precipitation, over 80 inches, represented in darkest blue, is found in the central America (Costa Rica), South America (Colombia, Ecuador, and Venezuela), parts of west Africa (Guinea, and Cameroon), parts of Asia (western coastal areas of India, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Bangladesh, Cambodia, Western Philippines), and Papua New Guinea.
