* The following is Mongabay’s annual recap of major tropical rainforest
storylines.
* While the data is still preliminary, it appears that deforestation
declined across the tropics as a whole in 2023 due to developments in the
Amazon, which has more than half the world’s remaining primary tropical
forests.
* Some of the other big storylines for the year: Lula prioritizes the
Amazon; droughts in the Amazon and Indonsia; Indonesia holds the line on
deforestation despite el Niño; regulation on imports of forest-risk
commodities; an eventful year in the forest carbon market; rainforests and
Indigenous peoples; and rampant illegality.
