                 Share of Forest Area in Total Land Area by Region

                                              in 1990 and 2019








































           The above graph shows the share of forest area in total


           land area by region in 1990 and 2019. ① Africa’s share of

           forest area in total land area was over 20% in both 1990


           and  2019.  ②   The  share  of  forest  area  in  America  was

           42.6% in 1990, which was larger than that in 2019. ③ The


           share of forest area in Asia declined from 1990 to 2019 by

           more than 10 percentage points.  ④ In 2019, the share of


           forest  area  in  Europe  was  the  largest  among  the  five

           regions, more than three times that in Asia in the same


           year.  ⑤ Oceania showed the smallest gap between 1990

           and 2019 in terms of the share of forest area in total land


           area.
