The global deforestation rate has continued to decrease in recent decades.

This is evident from the "Global Forest Resources Assessment 2025" report released by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO).

FAO defines deforestation as the conversion of forest to other land uses, whether human-induced or not.

Deforestation includes the conversion of forests to agricultural land, pastures, reservoirs, mining areas, and settlements.

The term also encompasses changes in environmental conditions that result in a permanent reduction of trees in a forest area, such that the extent of the area covered by tree canopy in that region is less than 10%.

During the 1990—2000 period, the global area of forest lost or deforested reached 17.6 million hectares per year.

Then, from 2000—2015, the rate decreased to 13.6 million hectares per year.

The downward trend continued in 2015—2025, bringing the global deforestation rate to 10.9 million hectares per year, as shown in the graph.

"The rate of deforestation has decreased, although it is still high," FAO stated in its report.

"An estimated 489 million hectares of forest were lost due to deforestation from 1990 to 2025, although the rate has slowed," they added.

In the last decade, the largest deforestation occurred in South America.

Below are the details of the global deforestation rate by region during the 2015—2025 period, ordered from largest to smallest:

South America: 4.22 million hectares/year
Africa: 3.45 million hectares/year
Asia: 2.02 million hectares/year
North and Central America: 570 thousand hectares/year
Oceania: 491 thousand hectares/year
Europe: 145 thousand hectares/year
