COUNTRY TABLES

General notes

Table updates

The table data represent a summary of FRA 2000 findings as of 1 March 2001. The contents will continue to be updated, including making corrections and adding currently missing data, until the FRA 2000 main report is released. The latest version of the table data is available on the FAO Forestry website (http://www.fao.org/forestry/fo/fra/index.jsp)

Country nomenclature and regional groups used in the tables

The country names and order used in these tables follow standard UN practice regarding nomenclature and alphabetical listing of countries. Data for "China" incorporate values for China (including Hong Kong and Macao) and for "Taiwan Province of China", as consistent with UN practice. The regional groups used in these tables represent FAO’s standardized regional breakdown of the world according to geographical (note: not economic or political) criteria.

The designations employed and the presentation of material in this publication do not imply the expression of any opinion whatsoever on the part of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations concerning the legal status of any country, territory, city or area or of its authorities, or concerning the delimitation of its frontiers or boundaries.

Totals

Numbers may not tally because of rounding.

Abbreviations

n.s.	=	not significant, indicating a very small value
-	=	not available (n.a.)
n.ap.	=	not applicable
000	=	thousands

Table 1. Forest data by country

The land area" figure refers to total area of the country, excluding areas under inland water bodies.

The table shows the forest cover in year 2000 and the estimated change between 1990 and 2000. Adjustments to the standard reference years 1990 and 2000 were made by FAO, based on available national statistics. "Total forest" is the sum of natural forest and plantations. "Forest cover change" is the net change in forests and includes expansion of plantations, and losses and gains in the area of natural forests.

Forest plantations are forest stands of introduced species, or intensively managed stands of indigenous species of even age class and regular spacing. The table shows the total plantation area in year 2000, which is included in the total forest area.

Volume refers to total volume over bark of living trees above 10 cm diameter at breast height. Biomass refers to above ground mass of the woody part (stem, bark, branches, twigs) of trees, alive or dead, shrubs and bushes. Note: For "industrialized" countries (Europe, CIS countries, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, Canada and USA) the stem volume for all living trees has been used for the volume figure. Some variation as to the minimum diameter applied is reported in UN-ECE (2000).

Table 2: Forest management status 2000

The table summarizes membership of eco-regional processes on criteria and indicators, the area under forest management plans, the forest protected area and the area of forests certified by country.

Criteria and Indicators for Sustainable Forest Management

ATO	African Timber OrganiZation
DZAf	The Dry-Zone Africa Process on Criteria and Indicators for Sustainable Forest Management
DFAs	Regional Initiative for the Development and Implementation of National Level Criteria and Indicators for the Sustainable Management of Dry Forests in Asia
EUR	The Pan-European Forest Process on Criteria and Indicators for Sustainable Forest Management
ITTO	International Tropical Timber Organization
LEP	Lepaterique Process of Central America on Criteria and Indicators for Sustainable Forest Management
MON	Montreal Process on Criteria and Indicators for the Conservation and Sustainable Management of Temperate and Boreal Forests
NE	The Near East Process on Criteria and Indicators for Sustainable Forest Management
TARA	The Tarapoto Proposal of Criteria and Indicators for Sustainability of the Amazon Forest

Notes:

Bosnia-Herzegovina, Georgia, San Marino and Yugoslavia were invited to join the Pan-European Forest Process as of December 2000 and have been included in the table.
Cuba and Lao People's Democratic Republic have developed national level criteria and indicators for sustainable forest management without being members of any of the above processes.
Some changes to this column have been made on 5 February 2001.

Area under forest management plans

The definition used for the area under forest management plan is "The area of forest which is managed for various purposes (conservation, production, other) in accordance with a formal, nationally approved, management plan over a sufficiently long period (five years or more)". Exceptions: Industrialized countries (Europe, Cyprus, Turkey, Israel, CIS countries, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, Canada and USA) included also areas with a regularly applied informal plan. For these countries, it was also recommended that areas where a decision has been made not to manage them at all be included (UN-ECE 2000).

The areas under forest management plans are taken from national reports. The percentage is calculated as the percentage of the total forest area for year 2000. Exceptions: Where national reports indicated that all forests are under management, the percentage was set to 100% also for year 2000 and the area figure set to equal the total forest area.

Partial data were obtained from a variety of published sources.

Notes:

Georgia: Forests classified as "undisturbed" are not included;
Philippines: The figure represents the aggregated area covered by tenurial agreements for "forest land" and includes areas which are not defined as forests according to the FRA 2000 definition. A forest management plan is required under these agreements, but may not have been formally approved for all areas;
Australia: Only the forests managed for wood supply are included;
Finland: The original figure provided was 18,609,000 ha. However, as of December 2000, a total of 21.9 million ha of forest had been certified and since this implies the existence of a management regime, this latter, more recent figure has been used instead;
Italy: Only forests with specific management plans are included. All other forests in the country are submitted to general silvicultural prescriptions;
Guyana: The figure provided equals the area under concession agreements as all concessionaires must prepare a forest management plan to be approved by the Government;
Numbers with an asterisk (*) represent partial data as national figures were not available.

Forest protected area

Forest protected areas refer to areas within IUCN categories I-VI for nature protection. "Country report" refers to the country submissions to FRA 2000 in which the term "protection" was interpreted broadly, particularly for IUCN categories V-VI and may include areas under general forest management. "Global maps" refers to an overlay of the FRA 2000 global maps of forest cover and the FRA 2000 global mapping (in partnership with UNEP-WCMC) of protected areas with a legal protection status. Percentages refer to total forest area.

Certified forest areas

The cumulative area of forests certified under the following schemes is listed:

ATFP	American Tree Farm Program (as of December 2000)
CSA	Canada's National Sustainable Forest Management System Standard (as of 21 December 2000)
FSC	Forest Stewardship Council-Accredited Certification Bodies (as of 31 December 2000)
GT	Green Tag (USA) (as of 31 December 2000)
PEFC	Pan-European Forest Certification (National schemes endorsed by the PRFC Council) (as of December 2000)
SFI	Sustainable Forest Initiative Program - American Forest and Paper Association (for Canada - as of 21 December 2000, for USA as of October 2000).

Notes:

Although more than 72 million acres of land are enrolled in the SFI program in the US and Canada, only those areas which have been independently certified have been included;
Areas certified under the ISO 14001 Environmental Management System Standard scheme (e.g. 30,980,046 ha in Canada and more than 300,000 ha in New Zealand) have only been included if also certified under specific forest certification schemes;
Ghana, Malaysia and Indonesia, among others, are developing national certification schemes and additional areas may soon be certified under these. A total of 2,325,356 ha of forests in three states of Malaysia (Pahang, Terengganu and Selangor) have, as a first step, been assessed to the requirements of a mutually agreed standard and were awarded "audit statements" by an independent third party assessor (the Keurhout Foundation) under the Malaysia/Netherlands cooperation programme (H. Singh, NTCC pers. comm. (2001)).
