The table illustrates the forested land in millions of hectares on six different continents of the world over a 15-year period.
Generally speaking, Europe is projected to reach its highest rate in 2005, while historical data reflect the lowest in 1990, although there is a slight variation between these periods (1990 to 2005). Oceania projects the lowest hectare approach of all continents. Figures for other parts of the world have increased slightly, although showing a modest decline in some periods in subsequent years.
North America’s forested area began to decline steadily from 1990 to 2000, and remained at that level over the next half-decade. On the other hand, in Asia there has been a very slight fluctuation over the next years. in Africa’s forested areas gradually declined over the following years.
Europe made slight gains over the three periods. So Europe has the highest rate among all the continents. South American forests have suddenly declined across the projected years.
