The two pie charts compare five global regions (South America, Africa, Asia, Europe, North America) in terms of their shares of the world’s total forests and timber supplies.
Overall, Africa holds the largest proportion of global forest coverage, while North America dominates global timber supply. Notably, Africa’s share of timber is far smaller than its forest share, whereas North America’s timber percentage exceeds its forest proportion.
Looking at forest distribution in detail, Africa accounts for 27% of the world’s forests, narrowly ahead of North America at 25%. Europe and South America follow, with 18% and 16% of global forest cover respectively, and Asia has the smallest share at just 14%.
For timber supply, North America is the leading region, providing 30% of global timber, followed by South America at 23% and Europe at 20%. Asia contributes 18% of the world’s timber, while Africa has the lowest timber proportion at only 9%, despite having the largest forest area among the five regions.
