The Global Forest Resources Assessment<https://www.fao.org/forest-resources-assessment> (FRA) 2025 presents a detailed analysis of forest extent and change; characteristics; biomass and carbon; policies and legislation; designation and management; ownership and management rights; disturbances; non-wood forest products; and more. It finds that, although the rate of deforestation is slowing, forests are still being lost at nearly 11 million hectares per year. The area of planted forests continues to expand, but at a slower rate than before. Legally protected forests now cover one-fifth of the total forest area, and more than half the world’s forests are under formal management plans. FRA 2025 is an essential resource for understanding long-term trends in forest resources and how they relate to global goals and targets, including those on biodiversity, climate and sustainable land use. The report is available in six languages.
