Marshall Islands Forest Area

Marshall Islands’ forest area has remained unchanged at 52.22 percent of total land from the earliest record in 1991 through the latest 2025 estimate, marking both the all‑time peak in 2023 and the all‑time trough in 2025. This static share places the nation at rank 44 globally, virtually identical to the Cayman Islands (52.22 percent) and only marginally below Colombia’s 52.41 percent, while Northern Mariana Islands record a higher 52.96 percent. Over the 34‑year coverage period, the absence of any upward or downward movement suggests that deforestation pressures and afforestation initiatives have balanced each other, or that measurement methods have captured a stable land‑use pattern. Given the limited variation, any future shift in the trajectory will likely depend on policy changes affecting land allocation, climate‑related impacts on vegetation, or revised reporting standards that could reveal previously unrecorded changes.
