Reports & ResearchJuly, 2021EthiopiaLand in Ethiopia is held by the state, who acts as a custodian for the Ethiopian people.

Peer-reviewed publicationNovember, 2013GlobalQuantification of global forest change has been lacking despite the recognized importance of forest ecosystem services. In this study, Earth observation satellite data were used to map global forest loss (2.3 million square kilometers) and gain (0.8 million square kilometers) from 2000 to 2012 at a spatial resolution of 30 meters. The tropics were the only climate domain to exhibit a trend, with forest loss increasing by 2101 square kilometers per year.
