    The main objectives of the present assessment were: (i) to provide reliable and globally consistent information on the state of the tropical forests by 1990 and the rates of change during 1981 to 1990 and (ii) to undertake studies on the process of deforestation and forest degradation and their environmental implications.

    The results from the FRA 2000 Remote Sensing Survey cover most of pan-tropical forests under a wide range of ecological conditions, from tropical rainforests to dry forests. Estimates were calculated at different levels: at sampling unit, stratum, sub-regional, regional, pan-tropical levels and at ecological zones level. The reliability of the estimates differs according to the study level. The survey was mainly designed for generating information with an acceptable statistical precision at the regional and pan-tropical levels. Estimates at the subregional level have a relatively low precision but give valuable indications on forest changes processes.
