This infographic presents key data about forests in France using a clean, modern flat design. It highlights that forests cover 31% of mainland France, totaling 17 million hectares, or 26 million hectares when including overseas territories. Ownership is largely private at 75%, while communities own 16% and the state manages 9% as national forests. The visual also emphasizes ecological benefits. French forests and soils offset 9% of the country’s greenhouse gas emissions. They act as natural filters for air pollution and dust. Furthermore, the graphic illustrates their vital role in water purification and hydraulic regulation within the ecosystem. The bottom section showcases biodiversity with figures of 73 mammal species, 190 tree species, and 120 bird species.
This detailed visual is ideal for educational materials on environmental science or geography. It works perfectly as a supporting illustration for posts about European ecology or sustainability reports to present all informations at once. Publishers can license my artworks for digital textbooks to explain land use and biodiversity.
