Forestry is Important
• Forests are the natural climax vegetation on more than half of the world’s land surface.
• The world’s forest area is about 3.8 billion ha. – About one third of world’s land area which
is not covered with ice.
• Canada: 7% of world’s forest land area. • BC: 1.7% of the world’s forest land area.
