Earth lost more than 26million hectares of trees each year from 2014-2018, which could drastically impact wildlife and climate change. This comes despite pledges by governments to slash by at least half losses of natural forests by 2020. This is now deemed 'impossible', as deforestation has soared in the five years since it was set, warned Climate Focus, a thinktank that led the report.
