Forests are an important source of a rich variety of benefits sought by nearly everyone in the world. Forests are a far-reaching presence on worldwide landscapes. They make considerable contributions to the social and economic fabric of many societies.

The importance of forests is commonly identified by a number of measures, including area of land covered by forest vegetation, extent of forest-based employment and income, and public recognition of important forests resources issues.
