File talk:1988- Deforestation rates in Brazil - Terra Brasilis.svg

Deforestation or "forestation"?

RCraig09 This chart is confusing because a negative "rate of deforestation" would be an increase in the area of forest. The source material has it right, with data points above the zero axis. Although a different title could resolve this, personally I find the original chart much easier to comprehend visually. Davidships (talk) 13:05, 12 November 2022 (UTC)

@Davidships: Thanks for the feedback. I had debated different approaches and made a few charts using descending bars because the bars denote losses (of forest, etc.). In this particular chart, I just changed the left scale in Version 3 to be more formally correct. RCraig09 (talk) 16:40, 12 November 2022 (UTC)
