Every 5 years the Food and Agriculture Organization, or FAO, publishes a report about the world's forests, called the Global Forest Resources Assessment. It contains information about forests in 233 countries and territories. All together, these forests are the world's forests. No matter where these forests are located, they provide benefits for people and wildlife across the entire planet.
