For nearly 80 years, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) has, at the request of its Members, collected, analysed and disseminated information on the world’s forest resources through the Global Forest Resources Assessment (FRA). FRA reports are now produced every five years to provide up-to-date information on the world’s forests and how they are changing. FRA 2025 examines the status of, and trends in, around 50 broad variables (under seven main topics – see below) in the period 1990–2025. This report presents the findings of the data analysis, comprising the status of, and main trends in, each variable.
