The pie charts present information on the proportion of world forest in five different continents as well as the percentage of timber production in each region.
Overall, while North America ranks among the highest in terms of timber production, Africa distinguishes itself by having the highest world forest. Moreover, the proportion of timber production in Asia, Europe, and especially South America is higher compared to that of world forest, the reverse is true for Africa.
North and South America stand out for registering higher timber production, with the former emerging as the dominant region. As for timber production, North America is measured at 30%, this is followed by South America with its 23%. However, these figures experience a decline when it comes to world forest. To be more precise, figures dip from 30% and 23% to 25% and 16%, respectively.
The remaining countries show different changes. The percentage of world forest is 18% in Eruope, a figure that then increases modesty to 20% as far as timber production is concerned in this region. Asia follows a similar trajectory. To be specific, it has 14% of world forest, but this grows to 18% in the proportion of timber production. Africa exhibits the opposite figures. Although the figure for world forest is 27% in this continent, this declines dramatically to 9% when it comes to timber production.
