Near east and north Africa regional forest resource assessment 2020

This report finds that the total forest growing stock in the region has increased over the last 30 years, while forest area and other woodland areas continue to decline due to land-use changes in the Sahelian countries.

The current report was compiled by the FAO Regional Office for Near East and North Africa (NENA) and is aimed at providing member countries with a source of reliable and timely data on the status of forest resources in the region and supporting them in their evidence-based decision-making and planning for the development of the forestry sector.Most of the NENA region falls within the subtropical climatic domain, but it spans an area that ranges from a tropical climatic domain in Mauritania, the Sudan and Yemen to a temperate domain in the Islamic Republic of Iran
