Forest area as % of land area AG.LND.FRST.ZS
Armenia's forest area was 11.67% in 2025, ranked 154th globally. This represents a 0.4% increase from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 1992–2025.
Overview
Armenia's forest area stood at 11.67% in 2025, a rise of +0.05% from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 11.67% by 2025. Armenia ranked 154th globally.
Armenia’s forest area has remained remarkably stable over the past three decades, hovering around 11.7 percent of its land surface. The World Bank records a slight decline from the all‑time peak of 11.74 percent in 1992 to a trough of 11.54 percent in 2019, before a modest rebound to 11.67 percent in 2025, placing the country 154th globally. This marginal fluctuation contrasts with the relatively higher forest cover of peer nations such as Ireland, which records 11.64 percent, and Moldova, at 11.74 percent, suggesting that Armenia’s forest management outcomes are broadly comparable within its rank group. The persistence of forest area despite economic transitions and land‑use pressures indicates a degree of resilience, yet the long‑term trajectory will depend on policy choices concerning reforestation, sustainable timber harvesting, and climate‑adaptation measures; stronger investment in these areas could shift the modest downward trend upward in the coming years.
