English: Stacked column chart showing annual loss of tree cover, globally, based on World Resources Institute data published on Mongabay. Different from source's chart: the present chart uses downward-projecting bars, and re-orders the sequence of the four data series so that regions are in order from pole to equator: Boreal, Temperate, Sub-tropical, and Tropical.
This is a list of countries and territories of the world according to the total area covered by forests, based on data published by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO). In 2010, the world had 3.92 billion hectares (ha) of tree cover, extending over 30% of its land area. [1] [need quotation to verify]
Bolivia has the 13th largest national share of the world's forest cover. [142] As of 2015, its primary forest cover was 36.2 million hectares, the 13th largest national area in the world and representing 2.8% of the worldwide total. [142] Bolivia also has the seventh largest amount of tropical rainforest.
Graph of world population over the past 12,000 years . As a general rule, the confidence of estimates on historical world population decreases for the more distant past. Robust population data exist only for the last two or three centuries. Until the late 18th century, few governments had ever performed an accurate census.
Chart created by Our World In Data in 2024. The UN Population Division has calculated the future population of the world's countries, based on current demographic trends. The UN's 2024 report projects world population to be 8.1 billion in 2024, about 9.6 billion in 2050, and about 10.2 billion in 2100. The following table shows the largest 15 ...
World population pyramid from 1950 to projected in 2100 (UN, World Population Prospects 2017) A population pyramid (age structure diagram) or "age-sex pyramid" is a graphical illustration of the distribution of a population (typically that of a country or region of the world) by age groups and sex; it typically takes the shape of a pyramid when the population is growing.

The current world population growth is approximately 1.09%. [5] People under 15 years of age made up over a quarter of the world population (25.18%), and people age 65 and over made up nearly ten percent (9.69%) in 2021. [5] The world's literacy rate has increased dramatically in the last 40 years, from 66.7% in 1979 to 86.3% today. [13]
The rank abundance curve visually depicts both species richness and species evenness. Species richness can be viewed as the number of different species on the chart i.e., how many species were ranked. Species evenness is reflected in the slope of the line that fits the graph (assuming a linear, i.e. logarithmic series, relationship).
