      The world’s tropical forests, which provide a crucial buffer against climate change, disappeared faster than ever recorded last year, new satellite analysis suggests.

      Researchers estimate that 67,000 sq km (26,000 sq mi) of these pristine, old-growth forests were lost in 2024 – an area nearly as large as the Republic of Ireland, or 18 football pitches a minute.

      Don’t worry, we can beat this record. We only need to produce more livestock.

      What’s with the passive language? They didn’t just ‘disappear’ on their own.
