Forests

Forests

The forest land area of North America increased from an estimated 719 million hectares (ha) in 2005 to more than 723 million ha in 2015 and now represents 36% of the land area in North America and 18% of the world’s forest land area (FAO 2016b). The increase in forest land area over the last decade was driven entirely by gains in the United States, while Canada and Mexico both lost forestland (see Table 9.1). The area of other wooded lands also increased in North America over the last decade, with substantial gains in the United States, no change in Canada, and loss in Mexico.
