Primary designated management objective (1990-2020 / 1000 ha)

Global Forest Resources Assessment has been monitoring the world\u2019s forests at 5 to 10 year intervals since 1946. The Global Forest Resources Assessments (FRA) are now produced every five years in an attempt to provide a consistent approach to describing the world\u2019s forests and how they are changing. The Assessment is based on two primary sources of data: Country Reports prepared by National Correspondents and remote sensing that is conducted by FAO together with national focal points and regional partners. The scope of the FRA has changed regularly since the first assessment published in 1948. These assessments make an interesting history of global forest interests, both in terms of their substantive content, but also in their changing scope.

Indicators included:

  • Primary designated management objective (1990-2020 / 1000 ha)
    • Production (1000 ha)
    • Protection of soil and water (1000 ha)
    • Conservation of biodiversity (1000 ha)
    • Multiple use (1000 ha)
    • Social Services (1000 ha)
    • Other (1000 ha)
