Notes

In the ongoing battle against deforestation, a notable decline in rates can be attributed to the growing implementation of sustainable management practices. The major drivers behind today's deforestation activity are four globally traded commodities: beef, soybeans, palm oil, and wood products. However, with growing awareness of the environmental crisis, various deforestation laws have been imposed. The synergy between better regulations and the adoption of sustainable management practices has become a pivotal force in curbing deforestation rates. Countries such as Indonesia, Malaysia, Colombia, and Brazil have experienced falling deforestation rates, which could contribute significantly to global climate and biodiversity conservation efforts, according to experts.
