EXPLANATORY NOTES

GENERAL

Country/area nomenclature and regional groups used in the data tables

The country/area names and order used in these tables follow standard UN practice regarding nomenclature and alphabetical listing. Data for "China" incorporate values for China (including Hong Kong Special Adminstrative Region and Macao Special Administrative Region) and for Taiwan Province of China. The regional groups used in these tables represent FAO's standardized regional breakdown of the world according to geographic - not economic or political - criteria.

Totals

Numbers may not tally because of rounding.

Abbreviations

GDP = gross domestic product

GNP = gross national product

n.s. = not significant, indicating a very small value

n.a. = not available

- = not available

n.ap. = not applicable

TABLE 1

The "land area" figure refers to the total area of a country, excluding areas under inland water bodies. The source of these data is the FAO Production Yearbook 1998 (FAO, 1999b), except in the case of 17 countries (marked in the table with an asterisk) whose land areas have been amended to reflect data recently provided to FAO by these countries. The forest cover figure for each country has been calibrated to the country's land area. Population statistics on total population, population density and annual rate of change are taken from World population prospects - the 1998 revision (UN, 1999). The source of "Rural population" data is World urbanization prospects - the 1996 revision (UN, 1997).

The source of the economic data is World Development Indicators 1999 (World Bank, 2000c). The GNP per capita figure represents the gross national product (GNP) divided by the mid-year population. The data are in constant 1995 US dollars. The annual percentage growth rate figures of gross domestic product (GDP) are based on constant local currency.

TABLE 2 and TABLE 3

These figures for 2000 represent the most current global data set available for forest area and forest area change. The source of the data is the FAO Forest Resources Assessment 2000 Project. Adjustments to the standard reference years 1990 and 2000 were made by FAO. "Total forest" is the sum of natural forest plus forest plantations. Forest area change is the net change in forests and includes expansion of forest plantations and losses and gains in the area of natural forests.

In Table 2, "volume" refers to total volume over bark of living trees above 10 cm diameter at breast height. "Biomass" refers to above-ground mass of the woody part (stem, bark, branches, twigs) of trees (alive or dead), shrubs and bushes. For industrialized countries (i.e. Europe, CIS countries, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, Canada and the United States), the stem volume for all living trees has been used for the volume figure. Some variation as to the minimum diameter applied is reported in UN-ECE/FAO (2000b).

TABLE 4

The table summarizes information collected for FRA 2000 on the status and trends of forest management as of the end of 2000. It includes information by country on membership of ecoregional processes on criteria and indicators for sustainable forest management, the area of forest under management plans, the area of forest under legal protection status and the area of forest certified under various certification schemes.

Criteria and indicators for sustainable forest management

Criteria and indicators processes are abbreviated as follows:

ATO = African Timber Organization

DZAf = Dry-Zone Africa Process on Criteria and Indicators for Sustainable Forest Management

DFAs = Regional Initiative for the Development and Implementation of National Level Criteria and Indicators for the Sustainable Management of Dry Forests in Asia

EUR = Pan-European Forest Process on Criteria and Indicators for Sustainable Forest Management

ITTO = International Tropical Timber Organization

LEP = Lepaterique Process of Central America on Criteria and Indicators for Sustainable Forest Management

MON = Montreal Process on Criteria and Indicators for the Conservation and Sustainable Management of Temperate and Boreal Forests

NE = Near East Process on Criteria and Indicators for Sustainable Forest Management

TARA = Tarapoto Proposal of Criteria and Indicators for Sustainability of the Amazon Forest

All 29 ITTO producer countries have been involved in the development of the ITTO Criteria and Indicators; however, only those countries implementing the ITTO criteria and indicators as part of an ITTO project are included in the table. The remaining ITTO producer countries are also members of other ongoing international processes on criteria and indicators and are developing and implementing criteria and indicators under separate, but linked, initiatives (e.g. Lepaterique, Tarapoto and ATO).

Bosnia-Herzegovina, Georgia, San Marino and Yugoslavia were invited to join the Pan-European Forest Process as of December 2000 and have been included in the table.

Cuba and the Lao People's Democratic Republic have developed national level criteria and indicators for sustainable forest management without being members of any of the above processes.

Area under forest management plans

Different definitions for the area of forest under management plans were used for developing and industrialized countries. The definition used for developing countries is "The area of forest which is managed for various purposes (conservation, production, other) in accordance with a formal, nationally approved management plan over a sufficiently long period (five years or more)". The definition used for industrialized countries (Europe, Cyprus, Turkey, Israel, CIS countries, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, Canada and the United States) also included areas with a regularly applied informal plan, and areas where a decision has been made not to manage the forests at all (UN-ECE/FAO, 2000b). For this reason, regional totals are not provided in the table.

The figures for area under forest management plans were taken from national reports and calculated as a percentage of the total forest area in 2000. Where national reports indicated that all forests were under management, the percentage was set to 100 percent. Partial data were obtained from a variety of published sources.

For Georgia, forests classified as "undisturbed" were not included in the reported figure.

For the Philippines, the figure represents the aggregated area covered by tenurial agreements for "forest land" and includes areas that were not defined as forests according to the FRA 2000 definition. A forest management plan is required under these agreements, but may not have been formally approved for all areas.

For Australia, only forests managed for wood supply were included.

For Finland, the original figure provided was 18.6 million ha. However, a total of 21.9 million ha of forest had been certified as of December 2000. As this implies the existence of a management regime, the higher figure was used.

For Italy, only forests with specific management plans were included. All other forests in the country are submitted to general silvicultural prescriptions.

For Guyana, the figure represents the area under concession agreements, as all concessionaires are required to prepare a forest management plan as a prerequisite to government approval.

Numbers with an asterisk (*) represent partial data, as national figures were not available.

Forest in protected areas

"Forest in protected areas" refers to areas within IUCN Categories I to VI for nature protection. The "Country report data" column gives figures provided in country submissions to FRA 2000 in which the term "protection" was interpreted broadly, particularly for IUCN Categories V to VI, which may include areas under general forest management. The "Global map data" column gives figures derived from an overlay of the FRA 2000 global maps of forest cover and the FRA 2000 (in partnership with UNEP-WCMC) global mapping of protected areas with a legal protection status. Percentages refer to the percentage of total forest area under protected area status.

Forest areas certified

The cumulative area of forests certified under the following schemes is listed.

ATFP = American Tree Farm Program (as of December 2000)

CSA = Canada's National Sustainable Forest Management System Standard (as of 21 December 2000)

FSC = Forest Stewardship Council - Accredited Certification Bodies (as of 31 December 2000)

GT = Green Tag (United States) (as of 31 December 2000)

PEFC = Pan-European Forest Certification (national schemes endorsed by the PEFC Council) (as of December 2000)

SFI = Sustainable Forest Initiative Program - American Forest and Paper Association (for Canada, as of 21 December 2000; for the United States, as of October 2000)

Although more than 29 million ha of land were enrolled in SFI in the United States and Canada, only those areas that were independently certified are included.

Areas certified under the ISO 14001 Environmental Management System Standard scheme (e.g. about 30 980 000 ha in Canada and more than 300 000 ha in New Zealand) are included only if also certified under specific forest certification schemes.

Ghana, Malaysia and Indonesia, among others, are developing national certification schemes under which additional areas may soon be certified. Approximately 2 325 000 ha of forests in three states of Malaysia (Pahang, Terengganu and Selangor) have, as a first step, been assessed to the requirements of a mutually agreed standard and were awarded "audit statements" by an independent third-party assessor (the Keurhout Foundation) under the Malaysia/Netherlands cooperation programme (H. Singh, National Timber Certification Council, Malaysia, personal communication, 2001).

TABLE 5

This table gives data for all regions, broken down by country or territory. The source is the FAO Yearbook of Forest Products 1998 (FAO, 2000c). The information is also available through the FAO Web site at: www.fao.org.

A "0" indicates either a true zero or an insignificant value (less than half a unit). The regional totals may differ from the sum of the totals for the countries and territories included in the table, the difference being due either to the rounding of numbers or to territories not included in the tables.
