Along with other Southeast Asian countries deforestation in the Philippines is a major environmental issue. Over the course of the 20th century, the forest cover of the country dropped from 70 percent down to 20 percent. Based on an analysis of land use pattern maps and a road map an estimated 9.8 million hectares of forests were lost in the Philippines from 1934 to 1988.

  • La déforestation aux Philippines, comme dans de nombreux pays d'Asie du Sud-Est, est un problème majeur dans le pays. Phénomène d'ampleur du XXe siècle, consécutif à l'exploitation intensive des forêts et à l’extension des terres agricoles sur fond de corruption ou de pauvreté, il menace la biodiversité d'un pays qui abrite de nombreuses espèces endémiques et contribue à amplifier les dégâts des catastrophes environnementales comme les cyclones. Des initiatives politiques et civiques tendent à inverser la tendance, bien que ce sujet reste un défi majeur. (fr)

  • Along with other Southeast Asian countries deforestation in the Philippines is a major environmental issue. Over the course of the 20th century, the forest cover of the country dropped from 70 percent down to 20 percent. Based on an analysis of land use pattern maps and a road map an estimated 9.8 million hectares of forests were lost in the Philippines from 1934 to 1988. A 2010 land cover mapping by the National Mapping and Resource Information Authority (NAMRIA) revealed that the total forest cover of the Philippines is 6,839,718 hectares (68,397.18 km2) or 23% of the country's total area of 30,000,000 hectares (300,000 km2).
