Maps showing the extent of global deforestation from space have been made to help save the planet.

Aberystwyth University scientists used satellite data to make images showing how the world's forests have changed in the last decade.

The maps highlight the impact of chopping down trees in places like the Amazon.

They also show the effect of bush fires in Australia and larch disease in the UK.

The work is being published as part of a European Space Agency project run by the Aberystwyth team.

Trees are considered vital in the fight against climate change as they soak up carbon dioxide and store it in their trunks, branches and roots.

The scientists said their research would allow the estimation of global carbon stocks.
