Forests are an area of approximately 4 billion hectares globally, which require women leaders and fighters to preserve their essence. This area is about 30% of the earth's surface; therefore, it needs values that do not generate an impact on its nature.
A newsletter published by the World Rainforest Movement in support of struggles for social justice in forests revealed that women have an essential role in maintaining a healthy environment because they have been taking charge for some time. The female gender implements a series of contributions to the management of forests since it obtains knowledge about these resources, in addition to being protective, conservative, and defenders of the environment. According to the University of Maryland, tree areas were lost in deforestation and fires, with all women's work and effort.
A study called "Forest Pulse: The Latest on the World's Forests" by Mikaela Weiser and Elizabeth Goldman revealed that rainforest destruction increased by 12% from 2019 to 2020. Unfortunately, much of that loss is due to the COVID-19 health crisis. However, together with women, some countries are working on economic recovery and environmental protection.
The report's figures indicate that the countries with the most losses in 2020 are working to transform, increase and overcome their positive feedback loop. The findings record an increase of 40 thousand hectares of losses for Colombia in 2020. However, by 2021 it has been calm, although small cases have been detected and attacked quickly. Nations such as Brazil, Bolivia, Peru, Colombia, and Mexico made a military deployment to curb deforestation.
