Sint Maarten (Dutch part) Forest Area

Sint Maarten's forest area has remained relatively stable over the past 14 years, with the latest figure standing at 10.88 square kilometers as of 2025. This value is consistent with both the all-time peak and trough values, which were also recorded at 10.88 square kilometers in 2025 and 2023, respectively. Notably, Sint Maarten's forest area is comparable to that of Burundi, where the figure is 10.89 square kilometers. In contrast, countries with larger forest areas, such as Uganda with 10.63 square kilometers, demonstrate a significantly larger land area. The stable forest area in Sint Maarten suggests a balanced relationship between deforestation and reforestation efforts on the island. However, a rise in global temperatures and intensifying hurricanes may alter this trajectory, potentially leading to an increase in deforestation and a decrease in Sint Maarten's forest area in the coming years.
