The pie charts give information about the world’s forest in five different regions. Summarize the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.

The pie charts detail information about the

world’s

forests

and

timber

according to

the continent. Looking from an

overall

perspective, it is readily apparent that most of the

world’s

forests

are in

Africa

and North

America

, followed by Europe, South

America

, and

lastly

Asia.

In contrast

,

Africa

possesses the least

timber

while

North

America

has the most. Looking first of all at North

America

and

Africa

, the former continent represents 25% of the

world’s

forest and the latter 27%. In terms of

timber

, the figure is slightly higher for North

America

(30%) and drastically lower for

Africa

(9%). Forest and

timber

ratios are more even in the other regions. European nations contain 18% of the

world’s

forests

and 20% of their

timber

. South

America

is marginally lower at 16% for

forests

and moderately higher at 23% for

timber

.

Finally

, Asian

forests

constitute 14% of the global total and 18% of all

timber

.
