The Argentinian National Monitoring System of Native Forests quantifies deforestation in Argentina’s native forests since 2007. The dataset was initially created to contribute to the implementation of Argentina’s Native Forest Law (Law N°26331), which seeks to establish the minimum environmental protections for the conservation, restoration, and management of Argentina’s native forests. Additionally, the National Monitoring System of Native Forests aids in ensuring Argentina’s compliance with international agreements on climate change and forest protection.

Displays deforestation in Argentinean native forests from 2007-2022 as defined by governmental sources.

The original data of the National Monitoring System of Native Forests is not completely annualized and reports forest loss for certain Argentinean regions pre-2017 in a series of date ranges that span multiple years. To visualize this data, multi-year ranges were transformed into annualized values by assigning the deforestation total to the final year of each range. Annual deforestation data from 2007-2017 should be interpreted with caution. The original data files can be accessed on the [Ministry of the Environment and Sustainable Development’s website] (https://www.argentina.gob.ar/ambiente/bosques/monitoreo-bosques-nativos)
