The figures concerning forest area and forest area change of the Global Forest Resource Assessment 2000 are based on data concerning forest resources from practically every nation in the world. Out of a total of 213 countries and territories encompassed by FRA 2000, 160 contributed actively to the data collection of FRA 2000. Only through the commitment of the individual national authorities to provide the most recent baseline data has it been possible to compile the area statistics based on national data of the FRA 2000.
