The table shows forested land in millions of hectares in different parts of the world. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant. You should spend about 20 minutes on this task.

		Forest Area (000,000 ha)
	1900	2000	2005
Africa	749	709	691
Asia	576	570	584
Europe	989	988	1001
North America	708	705	705
Oceania	199	198	197
South America	946	904	882

The table gives information related to the forested land in six areas in the world in three different years measured in millions of hectares.

Firstly, the forest-clad land in Oceania, Africa, and South America experienced a steady decrease over the fifteen years period. In detail, the wooden areas in Oceania dropped from 199 million hectares in 1990 to 198 million hectares in 2000 and continuously lost another one million hectares to score the lowest number at 197 million hectares in 2005. Similarly, the number of forested land in Oceania and South America reduced from 199 million hectares and 946 million hectares in 1990 to 197 million hectares and 882 million hectares in 2005, respectively.

Secondly, regarding the three remaining areas, the number of wooden areas in Asia experienced the most significant increase after fifteen years, from 576 million hectares in 1990 to 584 million hectares in 2005. Moreover, the data of forest-clad land in Europe increased slightly from 989 million hectares in 1990 to 998 million hectares in 2000 and reached the top at 1001 million hectares in 2005. Finally, after decreasing three million hectares from 708 million hectares in 1990 to 705 million hectares in 2000, the forested areas in North America remained unchanged in the last tracking year.

In conclusion, Europe and Oceania remained the areas had the most and the least forested land, correspondingly.
