2024 was a record year for forest loss. Despite global pledges, forests like the Amazon are being cleared to produce commodities like beef, soy and palm oil - ingredients that end up in the food we eat, the clothes we wear and the animal feed we rely on. But it doesn’t have to be this way. It’s possible to graze cattle, grow soy and produce palm oil sustainably. The problem lies in complex global supply chains that hide deforestation and give companies an excuse for inaction.
With the world facing mounting threats from climate change and biodiversity loss, protecting forests like the Amazon is more urgent than ever. We’re dedicated to ending deforestation to ensure a safer, more sustainable future for all. Through our open-access data and innovative tools, we identify the commodities driving forest loss; expose the key companies and financial institutions behind this destruction; and guide the finance sector to stop investing in activities linked to deforestation.
