KEY FINDINGS

In this project 147 countries that are within (full or partly) forest zone was analyzed. Of all these countries 82 have lost all of their Intact Forest Landscapes and whilst 66 countries still have Intact Forest Landscapes, for half of these it's less than 10% of their forest zone area. Only fourteen countries, including Canada, Brazil, Russia, Papua New Guinea, Democratic Republic of Congo and Indonesia control 92% of the world's remaining Intact Forest Landscapes.
