    DescriptionA project managed and coordinated by Aberystwyth University has revealed the extent that deforestation and climate change is having across the world.

    Maps revealing areas of the world’s forests, which have substantively changed over the past decade, have been published through the European Space Agency.

    The space agency’s Climate Change Initiative Biomass project, which has brought together researchers from across Europe, uses satellite data to produce high resolution maps showing which of the planet’s forests are being lost or expanding.
