The provided pie charts illustrate the proportion of the world’s forests and the distribution of timber across five continents.
Overall, it is evident that Africa and North America have the largest shares of the world’s forests, whereas Europe and Asia have the smallest proportions in this field. However, in terms of timber production, North America is a leader, while Africa has the lowest share. Interestingly, the forest percentage figures of all continents except Africa are lower than the ones in timber proportion.
Turning to the details, North America accounts for a quarter (25%) of the world’s forests, whereas Africa surpasses it with 27%. Europe follows with 18%, while South America and Asia hold 16% and 14%, respectively.
Regarding timber resources, North America has the highest share at nearly one- third, taking up the largest portion of the chart. South America and Europe follow with 23% and 20%, correspondingly, while Asia holds 18%. In contrast, there is the smallest share in the figure for Africa, with less than one and tens of the world’s timber resources.
