Global Deforestation Increased 3.2% in 2023 Despite Tropical Forest Loss Decreasing

Global Deforestation Increased, 3.2% in 2023 Despite , Tropical Forest Loss Decreasing . Fox News reports that the global loss of primary forests in the world's tropics declined slightly in 2023 compared to the year before. According to Global Forest Watch researchers, the world lost about 14,000 square miles of tropical primary forest, sometimes referred to as old-growth forests, in 2023. Global Forest Watch (GFW) director Mikaela Weisse warns that declining losses in Colombia and Brazil were mostly offset by increased losses in other places. The world took two steps forward, two steps back, Mikaela Weisse, Global Forest Watch (GFW) director, via Fox News. Fox News reports that scientists consider tropical primary forests to be treasure troves of biodiversity, with the Amazon rainforest home to an estimated 10% of Earth's known species. According to Weisse, tropical primary forest losses in 2023 caused greenhouse gas emissions equal to half of the United States' annual fossil fuel emissions.

Overall, beyond just tropical primary forest loss, , global deforestation , rose 3.2% in 2023.

Argentina Protests: Massive protests over education cuts under new President Milei | Oneindia

According to protest organisers, hundreds of thousands of Argentines flooded the streets to express their outrage over cuts to higher public education under the newly elected President Javier Milei. Students, professors, parents, and alumni from the country's 57 state-run universities rallied together on Tuesday, uniting in defence of free public university education amidst the economic turmoil plaguing South America. Joined by labour unions, opposition parties, and private universities, the demonstrations spread from Buenos Aires to major cities like Cordoba, marking one of the largest protests against the austerity measures implemented since Milei assumed office in December. While police estimated around 100,000 participants in the capital alone, organisers claimed the number soared closer to half-a-million, effectively paralysing the city centre for hours. #ArgentinaProtests #EducationCuts #PresidentMilei #ArgentinaEducation #Protests #HigherEducation #PublicEducation #BudgetCuts #EducationReform #StudentProtests ~HT.178~PR.152~ED.194~GR.123~
