As demand for cobalt, gold and other minerals grows, mining is accelerating deforestation in the Congo basin – and increasing the risk of deadly Ebola outbreaks For decades after the discovery of Ebolavirus in 1976, outbreaks of the disease were relatively small and contained, affecting a few hundred people at most. Not any more. In recent years, outbreaks of Ebola have been much larger, affectin…

Nature, Published online: 03 June 2026; doi:10.1038/s41586-026-10551-2 Extensive mining activity leads to large-scale deforestation of dense tropical forests across sub-Saharan Africa, driven particularly by key energy transition minerals such as cobalt.

Nature, Published online: 06 May 2026; doi:10.1038/s41586-026-10456-0 The Amazon forest faces a near system-wide transition of 62−77% of the area under a combination of 1.5–1.9 °C global warming and 22−28% deforestation.

Over the last few decades, wildfires, farmers, and cattle ranchers have razed millions of acres of tropical forests across the planet. Much of that deforestation has occurred in three countries: Brazil, Democratic Republic of the Congo, and Indonesia. But in the last few years, another, smaller nation has risen in the ranks of nations with […]

Tropical forest loss declined significantly last year, falling 36% after reaching a record level in 2024.

Deforestation is the damage and destruction of Earth’s forests. These vital ecosystems store carbon, generate oxygen, influence our weather and host much of the world’s biodiversity. But forests are being destroyed faster than they can regrow to clear land for farming and settlements. Stay up to date on efforts to preserve and restore our forests.
