Learn how to use the Deforestation Rate Calculator calculator and its working principles

How to Use the Calculator

  1. Enter the total deforested area in hectares in the "Deforested Area" field.
  2. Enter the time period in years during which the deforestation occurred in the "Time Period" field.
  3. Click the "Calculate" button to compute the deforestation rate.
  4. The result will be displayed in hectares per year.

Working Principle

The deforestation rate is calculated by dividing the total deforested area by the time period. This gives the rate at which forest area is being lost per year.

Example

If 1000 hectares of forest were lost over a period of 5 years, the deforestation rate would be:

Deforestation Rate = 1000 hectares / 5 years = 200 hectares per year
