The table compares forested land in different continents from 1990 to 2005. Overall, four continents decreased their forest land scale throughout the period.
Regarding the first continent, Africa, the number of hectares of forest decreased significantly from 749 in 1990 to 691 in 2005. Similarly, the data of South America also declined remarkably by 64 hectares to 882 in just 15 years. Meanwhile, North America and Oceania had deforested their lands less than Africa and South America because the number of forested lands decreased by a few hectares. In detail, North America had seen a decline of 3 hectares from 708 hectares in 2005, and Oceania, which had the least forest land among other parts, shows that they lost only 2 hectares from 199 to 197 in 2005.
On the other hand, Asia and Europe experienced an increase in forested land. Asia had 576 hectares in 1990, despite losing 6 hectares in 2000, they had grown more trees so that at the end of 2005, the forest scale was at 584 hectares. Besides, Europe, which has the most forest area, saw an increase from 989 to 1001 hectares in 2005.
