was 23% in

Europe

, 13% in Oceania, and 5% in North

America

. With regards to deforestation, the percentage of

degradation

was 9.8% in

Europe

, but 0.2% in North

America

. Turning to over-cultivation, the

land

in

Europe

still degraded the most (7.7%).

By contrast

, Oceania did not have any degraded

land

;

however

, it comprised 11.3% of over-grazing, which was the highest. The percentages of

Europe
