Extended Data Fig. 3: Annual rates of deforestation for random pixels within oil palm concessions and ‘matched’ non-investment pixels.

Significant enhancements of forest loss within oil palm concessions were observed in (a) Cameroon, (b) Republic of Congo, (c) Indonesia, (d) Liberia, and (e) Malaysia. Data on contract year (blue histograms) came from the Land Matrix19. For Cameroon, Indonesia, and Malaysia, 1, 1, and 21 oil palm deals, respectively, had reported contract years before 2000 (not shown). Insufficient data on contract year were available for oil palm concessions in Republic of Congo. Y-axes scales vary between panels.
