The table gives information on the number of hectares of forest in 6 different places worldwide in the years 1990, 2000 and 2005.
Overall, Europe had the largest forest area while the number of hectares of forest in Oceania was the smallest during the given period. In addition, there was a downward trend in the number of hectares of land covered by forest in most of studied areas with an exception of Europe and Asia.

It is clear that in 1990, there were 989 000,000 hectares of forested land in Europe and this figure increased gradually to 1001 million in 2005. Likewise,the number of hectares of forest area in Asia rose from 576 million to 584 million in 2005, despite witnessing a moderate decrease in 2000.

Meanwhile, a negligible decline can be seen in the number of forested land in North America and Oceania. The figures for North America and Oceania were just under 710 million and roughly 200 million respectively during this span. Africa and South America experienced an obvious fall in the number of hectares of land covered by forest . More precisely, there was a considerable decline from 946 million to 882 million in the number of hectares of forest in South America, compared to from 746 million to 691million in Africa.
