A turning point for the world’s forests
23/10/2025
Each year, we still lose around 10.9 million hectares of forests. But that’s not the full picture. FAO’s latest Global Forest Resources Assessment shows hope for the world’s forests.
Though change may not yet be as swift or as substantial as needed, the rate of deforestation in the world has been declining, from 17.6 million hectares per year between 1990 and 2000 to 10.9 million hectares per year between 2015 and 2025.
