Global forest resources assessment 2010 main report Recurso electrónico
FAO, in cooperation with its member countries, has monitored the world's forests at five to ten year intervals since 1946. These global assessments provide valuable information to policy-makers, to international negotiations, arrangements and organizations related to forests and to the general public. The Global Forest Resources Assessment 2010 (FRA 2010) is the most comprehensive assessment to date. It examines the current status and recent trends for more than 90 variables and all types of forests in 233 countries and areas for four points in time: 1990, 2000, 2005 and 2010. FAO worked closely with countries and forest assessment specialists in the design and implementation of FRA 2010. More than 900 contributors were involved, including 178 officially nominated national correspondents and their teams. In the main section of this report, results are presented according to the seven thematic elements of sustainable forest management: • extent of forest resources; • forest biological diversity; • forest health and vitality; • productive functions of forest resources; • protective functions of forest resources; • socio-economic functions of forests; • legal, policy and institutional framework. A summary of key findings is presented below, followed by a section that attempts to answer the question: What does FRA 2010 tell us about progress towards sustainable forest management since 1990 at global and regional scales?
