Synopsis (short abstract) The Forest Resources Assessment (FRA) Project in the Philippines was initiated in August 2002 for the assessment of Philippine forest and tree resources as part of the framework of the Forest Resources Assessment Programme of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) to support national forest assessments (NFA). The project aims to provide, among others, information on the distribution of forest and other wooded lands according to tree species composition, ownership and m anagement status, size of holdings, designation/protection status, commercial volume and growing stock, and felling and/or removals. The project was spearheaded by the Forest Management Bureau (FMB) and implemented in the field by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) operating units (DENR regional offices), in collaboration with the Forestry Department of FAO. The major emphasis of this report is to provide comprehensive information on the status of forest and trees outside forest in the country and analysis of the level of precision and reliability of generated data/information from forest inventory that is based on relatively low-intensity and systematic multi-stage sampling design.

    FAO completed its first assessment of the world’s forest resources in 1948. At that time, its major objective was to collect information on available timber supply to satisfy post-war reconstruction demand. Since then, the Global Forest Resources Assessment (FRA) has evolved into a comprehensive evaluation of forest resources and their condition, management and uses, covering all the thematic elements of sustainable forest management. This, the latest of these assessments, examines the status of, and trends in, forest resources over the period 1990–2020, drawing on the efforts of hundreds of experts worldwide. The production of FRA 2020 also involved collaboration among many partner organizations, thereby reducing the reporting burden on countries, increasing synergies among reporting processes, and improving data consistency. The results of FRA 2020 are available in several formats, including this report and an online database containing the original inputs of countries and territories as well as desk studies and regional and global analyses prepared by FAO. I invite you to use these materials to support our common journey towards a more sustainable future with forests.
