Forestry in Numbers

Slide Content

The slide presents statistics related to forestry, emphasizing the impact and importance of forests globally. The first fact states that "30% of land area is covered by forests," indicating a substantial portion of the earth's terrestrial area. The second fact highlights that there is an "Annual forest loss of 0.11%," showing a concern for deforestation rates. Additionally, "400 million tonnes of paper consumed annually" provides insight into the human demand for forest products. Finally, "10% of global energy needs is supplied with fuel wood" suggests the reliance on forests for energy.

Graphical Look

• The slide has a dark green background with four white-bordered rectangles, evenly placed in a 2x2 grid.
• Each rectangle contains a large white numeral percentage or figure with a corresponding explanatory text beneath it in smaller white font.
• Above each numeral, there is a thematic icon in white: the first depicts trees, the second shows a tree being cut, the third is a printer, and the last one is a flame.
• The texts and numerals are highly contrasted against the dark green background for clear visibility.

The slide uses a simple and professional design with a color scheme and icons relevant to the forestry theme. The layout is clean, and the use of percentages and large figures makes the data immediately prominent and accessible.
