and for the conservation of biodiversity is one of the primarymechanisms currently used to help meet biodiversity targets outlinedin such strategic programs as the Aichi Biodiversity Targets.Similarly, tracking primary forest area is one method of capturingchange in forests that are assumed to be particularly importantecologically. The global FRA serves as a unique instrument fortracking changes in areas that countries self-report as primary forest,protected forest, or forests set aside for the conservation ofbiodiversity.Our study showed a loss of 128 M ha of total global forest areafrom 1990 to 2015, with the majority of that occurring in the tropics.Both FRA and Hansen et al. (2013) show that global forest lossis highest in the tropical domain, an area with high biological biodiversityand increasing concern over forest protection. Global forestarea change and further comparisons with other datasets isfurther explored in this special issue by
