FAO has been monitoring the world’s forests since 1946, initiallyat 10-year intervals, and every 5 years since 2000. Since itsinception, FAO has produced eleven Global Forest Assessments.This paper is intended to serve as one component of the 12th globalFRA, dated 2015.The FRA provides a consistent approach to describing theworld’s forests and how they are changing. The assessment isbased on two primary sources of data: (a) Country and territoryreports prepared by national correspondents and (in some cases)desk studies by the FRA team and (b) remote sensing analysis conductedby FAO together with national focal points and regionalpartners. This paper excludes the remote-sensing analyses and isbased only on the data collected for the country and territoryreports and contained within the FRA database (available online).The FRA report compiles information from 234 countries andterritories around the world. Since 2000, each participating countryhas designated an official national correspondent who ischarged with providing the official national statistics for theircountry. For FRA 2015, in addition to the national reports, ancillarydata such as gross domestic product (GDP), per capita income level,and population were incorporated using information from WorldBank (World Bank, 2013). For more detail regarding the methods,classifications and definitions used in FRA 2015 please refer toMacDicken (2015).
