Shows a time-series of tree cover loss by dominant driver for the time period 2001-2023, the dominant driver of tree cover loss from 2001-2023 using the following five categories:
Commodity-driven deforestation: Large-scale deforestation linked primarily to commercial agricultural expansion.
Shifting agriculture: Temporary loss or permanent deforestation due to small- and medium-scale agriculture.
Forestry: Temporary loss from plantation and natural forest harvesting, with some deforestation of primary forests.
Wildfire: Temporary loss, does not include fire clearing for agriculture.
Urbanization: Deforestation for expansion of urban centers.
The commodity-driven deforestation and urbanization categories represent permanent deforestation, while tree cover usually regrows in the other categories.
