Tree cover, tree cover loss and carbon by municipality, 2000-2020 (GFW)
Tree cover extent in 2000, gain from 2000 to 2012, annual loss from 2001 to 2020, aboveground woody biomass, CO2 emissions and removals and net flux, for the country, each department and each municipality, at several canopy-density thresholds, in hectares, megagrams and megagrams of CO2 equivalent, from Global Forest Watch's country statistics (World Resources Institute).

- Data state
- Advance Guatemala keeps the data point as the source published it: it does not compare it with other sources or apply the tolerance bands it uses for the site's verified figures.

Notes
Tree cover is vegetation taller than 5 m measured by satellite, and tree cover loss is not deforestation. Loss for 2011 to 2020 uses an updated method, so compare it with 2001 to 2010 with caution. Carbon figures are model estimates and change with the density threshold, so thresholds must not be mixed.
