According to FAO’s 2015 Global Forest Resources Assessment, between 2010 and 2015, 16 400 hectares of forest per year were lost (equivalent to 90 000 soccer fields per year). Deforestation and the loss of ecosystem services associated with forests represent the loss of natural capital from which the livelihoods of local communities and indigenous peoples derive. This implies a close relationship between deforestation and food insecurity, a risk that is increased by the poverty conditions that in general affect this segment of the population.
