Global Forest Resources Assessment

The Global Forest Resources Assessment (GFRA) is a comprehensive survey conducted by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations. It evaluates the world's forests, gathering data on their extent, health, and changes over time. This assessment helps understand the role of forests in ecosystems, biodiversity, and climate change. It provides crucial information for policymakers, researchers, and conservationists to make informed decisions aimed at sustainable forest management and conservation efforts, ultimately supporting environmental health and the livelihoods of communities that rely on forests.
