Changing Forests - Interactive Map

   
To accompany its article 'With Deaths of Forests, a Loss of Key Climate Protectors' (October 1, 2011), the New York Times published an interactive map illustrating the history of forest loss across the world. The map shows current forest cover, recent losses (between 2000 and 2005) and estimated extent of ancient forests (forest cover 8000 years ago) on different continents.
