Our World in Data have calculated several metrics based on this raw data including: – Net change in forest area (afforestation minus deforestation) – Net conversion rate (net change as a percentage of forest area) – Each country's share of global forest area, deforestation, afforestation, and net change in forests – Each country's share of regional forest area, deforestation, afforestation, and net change in forests The UN FAO publish forest area and forest change data as the annual average on 10- or 5-year timescales. Therefore the following year allocation applies: – 1990: the annual average over the period from 1990 to 2000. – 2000: the annual average over the period from 2000 to 2010. – 2010: the annual average over the period from 2010 to 2015. – 2015: the annual average over the period from 2015 to 2020. Data on forest cover by country pre-1990 is sourced from a variety sources which are documented here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1nYpao4e8Ai-P86jIUZ3r7X6-5MjZ7ZbG7TJQSO729Bg/edit?usp=sharing https://fra-data.fao.org/ UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO).
