ENFOCANDO EN BOSQUES CAPITULO 1: LA DeclaraCion

The document outlines the goals of the New York Declaration on Forests (NYDf), noting that the target to halve deforestation by 2020 was not met. It identifies key drivers of forest loss, including large-scale infrastructure, extractive industries, and specific agricultural commodities, while highlighting the gap between conservation commitments and financial investments. Despite these challenges, it notes progress in Paris Agreement updates and the adoption of anti-deforestation measures by major consumer markets.

• The New York Declaration on Forests (NYDf), established in 2014 with over 200 signatories, failed to achieve its goal of reducing deforestation by half by the year 2020.
• Global forest loss continues at a rate of 10 million hectares per year, an area comparable in size to Iceland.
• Seven specific agricultural products—cattle, palm oil, soy, cocoa, rubber, coffee, and wood fiber—are responsible for more than half of all forest cover loss.
• There is a significant disconnect between conservation rhetoric and financial action; nearly two-thirds of the 150 most important financial institutions lack deforestation policies despite investing trillions of dollars in high-forest-risk companies.
• Approximately 20% of intact tropical forest areas are currently located under mining, oil, and gas concessions.
