Extractive Industries Threaten a Million Square Kilometers of Intact Tropical Forests around the Glo

According to a recent report, mining companies currently have claims on 11 per cent of all intact rainforests left in the world, meaning 590,000 sq. km (227,800 sq. miles) of pristine tropical forest ecosystems are at risk. Oil and gas concessions, meanwhile, cover 8 per cent of tropical intact forest landscapes (IFLs). That's another 408,000 sq. km (157,529 sq. miles), roughly the size of the US state of California. The report, issued by the World Wildlife Fund and Wildlife Conservation Society, defines an IFL as "a large patch of forest, including naturally treeless ecosystems, that has no remotely-sensed signs of human activity or habitat fragmentation, and are large enough to maintain biodiversity, such as wide-ranging species."
