Forest Resource Assessment (FRA)
Forest Resource Assessment (FRA) is a comprehensive process of collecting, analyzing, and reporting on global and national forest data. It measures aspects like forest area, health, biodiversity, and how forests are used or changing over time. Organizations like FAO conduct these assessments periodically to inform policymakers, support sustainable management, and track progress toward conservation goals. Essentially, FRA provides a clear picture of the state of the world's forests, helping ensure their health and sustainability for future generations.
