Seychelles Forest Area

Seychelles' forest area has remained remarkably stable at 73.26% of its land area since 1990, marking a 35-year plateau. This constancy stands in contrast to the dynamic forest area trends observed in other developing countries. As of 2025, Seychelles ranks twelfth globally in terms of forest area, closely trailed by Finland's 73.72% and St. Vincent and the Grenadines' 73.18%. The persistence of Seychelles' forest area can be attributed to the country's well-managed conservation efforts. The absence of significant fluctuations in the country's forest area is notable, especially when compared to the more dramatic changes witnessed in Liberia's 77.51% and Brunei Darussalam's 72.11% during the same period. With no discernible changes in the country's forest area since 2023, it appears that Seychelles has managed to stabilize its forest cover. However, the trajectory of this trend may change with the implementation of new environmental policies or natural disasters that could potentially alter the nation's conservation efforts.
