Global forest size 1990-2020
Forests cover over four billion hectares of the Earth's landmass, around 31 percent of total land area. As of 2020, worldwide forest area measured some 4.06 billion hectares, down from approximately 4.24 billion hectares in 1990. In this 30-year time period, no country saw a greater percentage change in forest area than Paraguay, which lost over one third of its forests.
