the table below shows the percentage of land area covered by forest in 7 countries in 1990 and 2000.
The table gives the breakdown about data on land area covered by forest in 7countries (Brazil, Indonesia, Japan, Portugal, New Zealand, Suriname, Singapore) in 1990 and 2000.
According to the table, the percentage of forest cover in Suriname dominated the first place with 95%, standing in marked contrast with Singapore (only 3.3%) over the ten-year period.
Additionally, we can see clearly that there was a drop in three countries. (Brazil, Indonesia, Japan) to be exact, proportion of forest cover in Japan decreased more rapidly compared with Brazil’s and Indonesia’s, seeing a drastic change from 63% to 52%. As for other categories, the forest cover rate of Brazil and Indonesia declined 3% and 4% respectively. On the contrary, in terms of Portugal’s and New Zealand’s forest cover rate, they both suffered from an upward trend. (From 24% to 28%, from 31%to 35% respectively)
In conclusion, we can see immediately the sharp contrast between the Suriname’s high forest cover rate and Singapore’s low forest cover rate.(164)
