Forest area (% of land area)

This indicator reflects the proportion of the terrestrial landscape that is covered by forests consisting of naturally occurring or cultivated tree stands reaching a minimum height of 5 meters. It encompasses both managed and unmanaged forests, and serves as a critical measure of biodiversity, carbon sequestration, and ecological health. Notably, it excludes tree plantations associated with agricultural activities, such as orchards or agroforestry, as well as ornamental trees found in urban settings. Monitoring this metric is essential for understanding deforestation rates, assessing land-use changes, and developing conservation strategies, ultimately contributing to sustainable environmental practices and climate resilience.
