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.

Mean sea-surface temperatures shown using patterns of latitudinal bands extend roughly east to west. The coldest temperatures are shown in the northern latitudes. Temperatures warm as latitudes near the equator.

Average sea-surface temperatures between 1990 and 2020

Mean Sea-Surface Temperature

Sea-surface temperatures create latitudinal bands extending east to west, influenced by ocean currents and continents. In the tropics, temperatures range from 24.0 to 32.0 degrees Celsius; in the midlatitudes, from 8.0 to 23.9 degrees Celsius; and in higher latitudes and polar regions, from negative 2.0 to 7.9 degrees Celsius. Significant deviations occur along the Atlantic coast of western Europe, where temperatures are warmer than the east coast of North America at the same latitude, and along the Pacific coast of Canada, the Atlantic coasts of Canada and the northeastern United States, and the western coasts of South America and southern Africa, where waters are cooler than expected. The hottest ocean areas are between Indonesia and Australia (30.0 to 32.0 degrees Celsius), followed by tropical parts of the western Pacific and Indian oceans, and small areas along the coasts of West Africa and Central America (28.0 to 29.9 degrees Celsius).
