Forest Area Fluctuations: The coniferous forest area in North America increased by 5.62% between 2018-2023 compared to 1984-1991. However, it decreased by 4.85% from its peak in 1992-2001.

To date, only 12% of the boreal forest is protected around the globe—and over 30% has been designated for logging, energy, and other development. Clear-cut in Estonian boreal forest.
