The image features two vertical bar charts. The upper chart, titled "Primary Causes of Deforestation by Region (2010 & 2020)", displays the "Percentage of Total Deforestation (%)" on the y-axis (scale 0 to 60, interval 10) against "Cause of Deforestation" on the x-axis, with a legend for three regions: South America, Southeast Asia, and Central Africa. Values by cause: Agriculture shows South America at 60%, Southeast Asia at 45%, and Central Africa at 50%; Logging shows South America at 25%, Southeast Asia at 35%, and Central Africa at 30%; Urbanisation shows South America at 10%, Southeast Asia at 15%, and Central Africa at 12%; Mining shows South America at 5%, Southeast Asia at 5%, and Central Africa at 8%. The lower chart, titled "Total Forest Area Lost by Region (2010 & 2020)", displays "Area Lost (in millions of hectares)" on the y-axis (scale 0.0 to 4.0, interval 0.5) across "Region" on the x-axis, with a legend for years 2010 and 2020. Data by region: South America lost 4.2 million hectares in 2010 and 3.5 million hectares in 2020; Southeast Asia lost 2.8 million hectares in 2010 and 3.1 million hectares in 2020; Central Africa lost 1.5 million hectares in 2010 and 1.9 million hectares in 2020.

The two bar charts compare the main causes of deforestation and forest area lost across three regions.
Overall, agriculture was the leading cause of deforestation in all three regions, whereas mining was the least significant. South America had the greatest forest-area loss in both years, although its figure declined; losses increased in Southeast Asia and Central Africa.
Firstly, South America is the most harmed region concerning deforestation by agriculture, with approximately 60% of total deforestation, while the others are positionned in the horizons of 40% to 50%. Logging is also considerably affecting deforestation, as it amounts just over 35% in Southest Asia and 30% in Central Africa.
Nevertheless, The total volume of area lost due to deforestation is considerable. areas such as Southeast Asia and Central Africa are on an upward trend regarding the losses in hectares. For instance, despite having around 1,5 millions of hectares lost due to deforestation in 2010 in Central africa, it leaped to approximately 2 millions in 2020. In contrast to, South America listed a noticeable decrease of just over half a million hectares from 2010 to 2020.
