Some 129 million hectares of forest - an area almost equivalent in size to South Africa - have been lost since 1990, as populations increase and forest land is converted to agriculture and other uses. However, building on comprehensive data covering 234 countries and territories, this report shows that over the past 25 years the rate of net global deforestation has slowed by more than 50 percent. The publication also notes that an increasing amount of forest areas have come under protection while more countries are improving forest management, although positive trends need to be strengthened further. The Global Forest Resources Assessment was first published in 1948, and provides five-yearly updates on the status of the world''s forests.

54 Seiten, The contributions of forests to the well-being of humankind are far-reaching. Forests provide vital wood supplies, help to combat rural poverty, and ensure food security and decent livelihoods; they offer promising mid-term green growth opportunities; and they deliver vital long-term environmental services, such as clean air and water, biodiversity and mitigation of climate change. Building on data that are more comprehensive and reliable than ever before and covering 234 countries and territories, the Global Forest Resources Assessment 2015 (FRA 2015) shows encouraging signs of improved forest management and a global slowdown in deforestation. However, these trends need to be strengthened, especially in countries that are lagging behind. Technology & Engineering, Food & Agriculture Org.<
