The world has lost one-third of its forest, an area approximately the size of the USA, China and India combined (ca. 2000 Mha) compared to 10 000 years ago [1–3]. In the past three decades (1990 to 2020), the net global forest area loss was 178 Mha (420 Mha deforestation and 242 Mha forest expansion) [4].
