15 billion
trees are cut down every year
~5 billion
trees are replanted every year
10.9 million
hectares of forest lost each year
46%
fewer trees than before human civilization
The gap between trees lost and trees replanted leaves a net loss of roughly 10 billion trees a year. There is progress too: the net loss of forest area has more than halved since the 1990s, from 10.7 million hectares a year to 4.12 million, and the world gained an average of 6.5 million hectares of tree cover a year between 2000 and 2020.
