In the United States, deforestation was an ongoing process until recently. Between 2010 and 2020, the US forests increased 0.03% annually, according to FAO (Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations). The 2005 (FAO) Global Forest Resources Assessment ranked the United States as seventh highest country losing its old growth forests, a vast majority of which were removed prior to the 20th century.

  • La déforestation aux États-Unis commence de façon significative avec l'arrivée des colons européens. Avant leur arrivée, environ la moitié du territoire était couvert de forêts, soit environ 4 140 000 km2 (estimation en 1620). L'essentiel de la déforestation a eu lieu avant 1910. Le minimum a été atteint vers 1920, et la surface des forêts est restée stable ensuite au XXe siècle. (fr)
  • アメリカ合衆国における森林破壊(アメリカがっしゅうこくにおけるしんりんはかい)とは、現在も継続し、保護論者によって提起されている米国の環境問題。ヨーロッパ系アメリカ人が来る前の時点では、米国(現在米国とされている範囲)のおおよそ半分が森林であり、西暦1600年ではおおよそ4,000,000平方キロメートルであった。今日ではおおよそ3,000,000平方キロメートルにまで減少している。 ほぼ全ての森林破壊は1910年迄に起きており、その後、20世紀ではあまり変化していない。 2005年の 国際連合食糧農業機関 (FAO, Food and Agriculture Organization)の世界森林資源評価(Global Forest Resources Assessment)では、米国を最も多く原生林を失った第7位の国とし、また20世紀以前の世界の森林破壊の圧倒的大部分が米国で起きたとしている。 (ja)

  • In the United States, deforestation was an ongoing process until recently. Between 2010 and 2020, the US forests increased 0.03% annually, according to FAO (Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations). Native Americans cleared millions of acres of forest for many reasons, including hunting, farming, berry production, and building materials. Prior to the arrival of European-Americans, about one half of the United States land area was forest, about 1,023,000,000 acres (4,140,000 km2) estimated in 1630. Forest cover in the Eastern United States reached its lowest point in roughly 1872 with about 48 percent compared to the amount of forest cover in 1620. The majority of deforestation took place prior to 1910 with the Forest Service reporting the minimum forestation as 721,000,000 acres (2,920,000 km2) around 1920. The forest resources of the United States remained relatively constant through the 20th century. The Forest Service reported total forestation as 766,000,000 acres (3,100,000 km2) in 2012. A 2017 study estimated 3 percent loss of forest between 1992 and 2001. The 2005 (FAO) Global Forest Resources Assessment ranked the United States as seventh highest country losing its old growth forests, a vast majority of which were removed prior to the 20th century.
