Quick Context
Single years can fluctuate strongly. This page therefore combines two views: annual deforestation and the cumulative trajectory since 1977. Only both together show whether the long-term trend is truly improving.
Annual losses plus cumulative deforestation in Amazônia Legal.
The cumulative curve shows how hard it is to offset historic losses.
Interactive Timeline 1977-2025
Use the slider or start the animation. Metrics and curves update year by year, including annual loss, cumulative area, and daily average.

Method Note
- Data basis: Amazon timeline 1977-2025 (Amazônia Legal), visualized as annual and cumulative deforestation.
- Cumulative means: better single years matter, but total loss changes only gradually.
- The visualization shows trends and magnitudes. It does not replace local root-cause analysis at project or community level.
Why Guayusa is relevant for forest protection
Guayusa can be cultivated in multi-layer agroforestry systems (chakras). For many families, this can provide an additional and more predictable income source next to local markets.
When buyers commit long-term and also purchase additional permaculture crops, financial pressure to switch into forest-damaging models can decline. That is where conscious demand links to biodiversity protection.

Amazon Map: Hotspots and spatial spread (2008-2024)
The map complements the timeline with the spatial layer: where do deforestation clusters densify, and where do they spread? This helps identify supply-chain risk zones faster.

FAQ
Why do you show annual and cumulative values together?
Annual values show short-term dynamics, cumulative values show the long-term path. Both are needed for realistic interpretation.
Is every Guayusa purchase automatically rainforest-friendly?
No. Key factors are transparent supply chains, long-term off-take, and real on-the-ground agroforestry practice.
What can I do as a consumer?
Prioritize traceable sourcing, long-term partnerships, and diversified agroforestry models.
Do the maps provide root-cause analysis?
No. They are a monitoring and context tool. Local root causes must be analyzed separately.
