Initially I was going to create a thread for the first findings, but perhaps making it more extensive in the topic it could become more useful.

Don't forget to include the link of each map and/or graph.

Deforestación = deforestation


Countries in the Americas only:

México = Mexico
Canadá = Canada
Estados Unidos = United States


Former (or current) powers in the Americas:

Países Bajos = The Netherlands
España = Spain
Inglaterra = United Kingdom
Francia = France

Latin America & The Caribbean

Translations:

As can be seen in the second graph, the Spanish Caribbean is seeing an increase of forest cover on all three islands.

Puerto Rico had a forest growth of approximately 0.7%.
US Virgin Islands had a forest decrease of approximately -0.6%.

United States had a forest growth of approximately 0.2%.
