Deforestation in the Peruvian Amazon

01/12/2025 Go to Evidence

50% of deforestation in the Peruvian Amazon occurs on forest lands where the removal of tree cover is prohibited, showing that forest loss is concentrated in legally restricted areas. This situation reflects pressures associated with land-use change driven by activities such as shifting agriculture, cattle ranching, illegal and informal mining, and illicit crop cultivation, all of which significantly contribute to the degradation of ecosystems and forested lands SERFOR (2020).
