Tunisia Forest Area
Forest area as % of land area AG.LND.FRST.ZS
Tunisia's forest area was 4.57% in 2025, ranked 178th globally. This represents a 0.4% increase from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 1990–2025.
Overview
Tunisia's forest area stood at 4.57% in 2025, a rise of +0.02% from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 4.57% by 2025. Tunisia ranked 178th globally.
Tunisia’s forest cover has risen modestly but steadily over the 35‑year span from 1990 to 2025, increasing from 4.15 % of its land area in the earliest year to 4.57 % in the latest year, which also represents the all‑time peak. This 0.42‑point gain places Tunisia at rank 178 globally, matching Pakistan’s 4.57 % share and remaining below the Isle of Man’s 6.07 % and Kenya’s 6.20 % shares. The upward trajectory reflects gradual afforestation and reforestation policies, yet the absolute level remains low compared with regional peers such as the United Arab Emirates, whose forest share stands at 4.47 %. Continued investment in sustainable land‑use practices and climate‑resilient tree species could reinforce the modest growth and potentially lift Tunisia’s forest proportion beyond the current peak, provided that competing pressures from agriculture and urban expansion are managed.
