How much deforestation occurs in the UNECE region every year?
Very little. In all countries of the region, some forest is lost every year, mostly to infrastructure and urban development, but in most countries this is heavily outweighed by plantation and natural extension of forests. In Europe, between 2000 and 2005, forests expanded at an average rate of nearly 1 million ha every year, continuing a trend apparent since the 1950s.
