This is a breakdown of how arable land is distributed across the globe. It is amazing to see how countries rank when it comes to the percentage of land suitable for cultivation, and the regional contrasts are quite striking.

Are existing deforestation policies offering any protection against forest degradation?

Policies aimed at reducing deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon do not reduce logging, fires, or forest fragmentation.

Worse, a focus on deforestation alone may be increasing degradation, a form of cross-sector leakage - e.g., driving more investment in logging, rather than clearing.

"We show that high temperature extremes and temp-linked measures of water deficit are both changing at a much faster rate than central trends... Crucially, over 700,000 square km in central-north Amazonia have experienced increases in extreme dry season temps ≥ 0.75 °C dec-1 ( ≥ 3.22 °C over 43yrs)."
