Act now — no map needed

The interactive map needs JavaScript to shade live conditions for your country. You don’t need it to act — these vetted, globally relevant organisations are one click away.

Plant one native tree this year · opens en.wikipedia.org → One tree, in one place, of a species that belongs in your soil and climate. The simplest, lowest-friction next step from any country on the map. Native species support more biodiversity than ornamentals; pick from a regional native-species guide rather than from a hardware-store rack.
Become an iNaturalist contributor for the trees near you · opens inaturalist.org → iNaturalist is an open citizen-science platform used by ecologists worldwide. One photographed tree with a confirmed species ID is a real data point that researchers can cite. The species lists for many regions are still incomplete; your observation may genuinely fill a gap.
Map a wood, park, or stand of trees on OpenStreetMap · opens openstreetmap.org → OpenStreetMap is the public dataset many forest-monitoring tools build on. Adding a single missing wood near you, or correcting a misclassified one, helps everyone who looks at that geography afterwards.
Choose FSC-certified wood, paper, and packaging · opens fsc.org → Forest Stewardship Council certification is the most-cited independent standard for sustainably-harvested wood and paper products. Choosing FSC-certified products at the till shifts demand toward forests managed for the long term and away from primary-forest clearance.
Send funds to a vetted forest-defence organisation · opens rainforestfoundation.org → These are independent, internationally audited groups working on forest defence in partnership with indigenous and local communities. Pick one — small recurring gifts beat one-off big ones because they let the organisations plan multi-year work, which is the timescale forest defence actually runs on.

Forest Map

Tap any place — see forest cover, extent, protected-area share, and one concrete next step that fits the country. Country shading from the Global Forest Resources Assessment and UNEP-WCMC via the World Bank Open Data API; intact-forest-landscape extent from the Mapping Project. Refreshed once a day.

Opens on a country with significant intact-forest landscape. Use search or the worst-list to explore your own region.

Largest remaining intact-forest landscapes

Top countries by remaining intact-forest-landscape extent ( Mapping Project, 2020 vintage). The closest publicly-available proxy for at the country level.

How this map works

Country shading shows live data fetched per visit:
- Forest cover (% of land) — Global Forest Resources Assessment via World Bank Open Data, latest year per country.
- 5-year forest-cover change — computed from the same time series; coloured darkest where forest is being lost fastest.
- Protected terrestrial area (% of land) — UNEP-WCMC via World Bank.
- Intact-forest-landscape extent (% of land) — Mapping Project, 2020 vintage, served as a static curated seed.
Click anywhere to see one concrete next step. The recommender derives a country profile from the four indicators above plus the country's biome and surfaces a use-case-matched action with named, citable organisations.
Largest remaining intact-forest landscapes ranks countries by the Mapping Project’s 2020 extent — that’s the closest publicly-available proxy for old growth at the country level. Definitions and methodology are at intactforests.org.
Freshness. The World Bank indicators are pulled on a daily schedule, normalised into a single tiny payload, and served to every visitor. Your browser only ever talks to our own server for the data. Result: same-day freshness, one upstream call per day regardless of audience size, deliberately negligible running costs, and a polite footprint on the public agencies whose data we re-share.
No accounts. No tracking. No upload. Outbound calls from the browser: our own server (live data + borders) and OpenFreeMap (basemap).

National figures hide local realities. Switching to sub-national data requires regional surveys; for the United States, see the /BLM Mature & Old-Growth Forests Inventory; for elsewhere, the Global Forest Watch dashboard publishes admin-1-level statistics. See methodology.
