Czechia Forest Area
Forest area as % of land area AG.LND.FRST.ZS
Czechia's forest area was 34.82% in 2025, ranked 90th globally. This represents a 0.2% increase from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 1993–2025.
Overview
Czechia's forest area stood at 34.82% in 2025, a rise of +0.06% from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 34.82% by 2025. Czechia ranked 90th globally.
Czechia’s forest cover has risen modestly but steadily over the 32‑year span from 1993 to 2025, increasing from 34.06 % of land area in the earliest year to 34.82 % in the most recent estimate, which also represents the all‑time peak. This upward movement places the country at rank 90 globally, marginally below the forest share of Croatia (34.88 %) and Luxembourg (34.45 %). The incremental gain of 0.76 percentage points suggests that national afforestation policies and sustainable forest management have been effective, yet the pace remains limited compared with faster‑growing peers such as Ghana, where forest cover reaches 35.26 %. As climate‑related pressures intensify and European Union biodiversity targets tighten, continued investment in reforestation and protection of existing woodlands will be crucial to sustain, or possibly accelerate, Czechia’s modest upward trajectory in forest area.
