The 10 Largest Forests on Earth

- Forests are some of the important ecosystems on the planet, but also some of the most threatened. In hopes of raising awareness of the issue of deforestation, here's the 10 largest forests on Earth. If I didn't include the "on Earth" part, this would be an entirely different list, trust me.
Fun fact: the reason why Finland has so much forest left, even though it's one of the world's largest producers of timber, is that by law every single tree that has been cut for commercial purposes must be replaced by three new tree saplings. Why three? Because it's about 1/3 chance that a sapling grows into a tree!
Nice! That is smart. Finns are also famous for best education in schools in general. Respect
I wish all countries would do that
But not gonna lie, that's actually really smart
Feels good to be finnish
I wish born in Finland
I was blown away by the fact that you traced the outline of each forest to estimate their relative sizes. What effort. Astounding.
5,500,000 sq kms is not even close to USA area
Amit T I don’t know why you made that a reply to the above comment. I believe that the offical 9.8 million sq kms does include the Great Lakes and some coastal waters also (you are still correct that 5.5million is not close through).
sounds like a dumb way to do it tbh

The kind of work that you put in to mapping, is patience & commitment on some another level. You deserve a lot of appreciation for what you're propagating.
It’s legit what I look for when I’m on a learning/research kick! I grasp material so much better when I have a map to look at, from geography, history, economy, biology and even just day to day news, I have got to have a map to look at! When I find a video on a specific topic and I see no maps I usually keep on clicking lol
You used the word propagating in the wrong context
@@V0lgateTrue, but I said with respect to all of the videos. I've been following this channel and just felt like leaving this comment at the time of this one's release. Naivete aside, being humble enough to appreciate effort is also one of my characteristics.

It would be fair to mention that there are many people dying for defending the Amazon Forest every year, mainly in Brazil and Colombia...
God bless them
oh yeah i remember there was a Ecologist, or Eco Activist, or Eviro Govt. (i forgot what is his role) in Brazil , assassinated for protecting the amazon.
well others countries destroyed their lands and forests in the name of development and now pressurising under developed nations not to use forest land for their development.. if so they should be paid accordingly.
@Guilherme Silveira yupp they want to keep everyone under a debt trap. amazones are bigger than whole india. there are huge forests in russia two in canada. if amazones are the lungs of the world the whole world should be in debted to them and pay for the oxygen the produce civilisations the preserve atleast interest on the debt of the countries which in clude amazones should be paid by countries who produce most carbon footprint per person.. but they are trying to solve problem without any solution.

Hello, Environmental Engineer from Chile living in Patagonia here. Its great that you consider the Valdivian Temperate Forest, but I must say that in Patagonia, conifers are the dominant type of trees only in some areas such as Austrocedrus chilensis populations up until 42°S, Fitsroya cupressoides and Pilgerodendrum iviferum from 40°S to 43°S (but both in permanent waterlogged terrain mostly). As you said, Nothofagus species are the dominant ones in general terms thoughout the ecoregion. Lenga (Nothofagus pumilio) and Coihue (N. dombeyi, N. betuloides, N. berteroana) are the most widely extended tree species, ranging from 35°S until Cape Horn.
But saying that conifers are the dominant tree species in the south is more wrong than right. Great channel, though, I've subscribed :D
I I'm going to plant a forest when I grow up I'm 12 because I love nature I planted my first tree when I was 10
"The best time to plant a tree is twenty years ago. The second best time is today."

Go for it man, if you wanna plant a bunch of trees do it. When youre 50-60 the trees you plant now will be fully grown.
Do ittt. It helps the earth and will bring you happiness for your entire life. You may even give some animals a new home :)

Forests are my favorite place to be; they feel like home. I have lived in Maine my entire life, which is mostly covered in forest, so that certainly contributes to my love for them. Forests were considered sacred for most of human existence, and it should have stayed that way.
Yeah, it’s sad to see them slo-fastly leave us 😭
1) You're not living out of forests.
2) No, they weren't any more than other geographic features.
3) No, it's not good to be superstitious.
If you were on your own in a forest, you'd likely starve to death. If you were in a grasland or savannah, you could probably do fine.

Provocateur no USA actually has a law that states loggers must replant seeds from tree and have all numbers count and can only come back when the trees have grown back. lesson here is that you can't say anything about a country until you lived in the country for having generations if family here when you still have a great grandma who says the forests she costed as a child still says it looks almost the same and any trees next to a high way are the old seeds where the highway was now shut the fuck up about America or we shut it for ya and don't complain about any other country cause some struggle for power and laws and don't have democracy

@@AtlasPro1 This was one of the most interesting videos I've seen on TH-cam. Definitely earned my subscription.
Ohh poor guy
Nice commentary. Although I notice a correction at 2:59 when you mention about Primorye forests. You say it is the only place on earth where tiger, leopard and bear co-exist. That is not correct, there is Western Ghats in South India where they live in same ecosystem. It’s an evergreen forest system that’s spanned on three states - kerala, tamil nadu and karnataka.
I think he mentioned abt snow leopard..
The western ghats also cut through maharashtra, Goa and Gujarat
western ghats has a lot of biodiversity and it is more of a tropical rainforest. this forest is also the last habitat place for asiatic lion[ all others are gone] that is in gir national park, this place also has tigers,bears,thousands of other species.
Different species of bear, I think.

Revisiting in 2023 for nostalgia! This video first popped up in my recommended on Christmas Eve a few years ago, and I immediately became captivated. My academic interests have shifted over the years, and watching this video, along with becoming obsessed with your channel, helped lead to yet another passion of mine: environmental science. Now I'm studying environmental science in college, and I really think this is the right path for me. Thank you for all the amazing content you put out. Not only is it awesome to be able to learn so much stuff through your videos, but you've genuinely helped shape my academic path and perhaps my future.
Massive props for tracing out those forests yourself & for providing/suggesting the idea to help donate in their preservation. You do some serious quality work in your videos and should be commended for your efforts. 🙂

2:55: It's not true that the Primorye Forest is the only place on earth that bears, tigers and leopards coexist. Many places in South and Southeast Asia are home to all three taxa.

In my opinion there are plenty of forests and woodlands that need to be protected worldwide. Even the smallest ones, that we have near our houses need to be saved. Each tree we walk by helps us in so many levels and yet some "people" simply close their eyes on the importance of a tree or a small area containing half a dozen of trees. Like in the Lord of the Rings, "but the hearts of men are easily corrupted".
Everyone, everywhere, we must protect the Earth.
Have a wonderful weekend, blessed Christmas (or your local cerimonies), a beautiful end of the year/new year. I truly hope your life gets blessed and better.

Yea I know. My small town is surrounded by farmland. Less than 10 years ago they replaced the main roads and took out all the trees that were on the side of the road. And the entire area was wetlands before it was colonized.
Awww thank you! I Subbed to you!
Complete bullshit. People stupidly believe exactly what you believe, namely that the mere presence of trees somewhere is a great ethical necessity. You don't ever seem to have reflected on that belief. You just parrot it like everyone else.
All of the trees you are likely to find are easily replaced. And there's more than enough trees in total. If you want to preserve some stretch of land in a particular state that should be the exception and you should have very specific reasons for that.
Great Research...
Great Work ...
2:55 to 3:00
Sloth Bears, Bengal Tigers and Leopards co-exist in the forests of Southern Western Ghats of India too
Also in Central India.

"Impressive conservation efforts under the Soviet Union"

Hi, I'm from Romania and I want to announce that even the government and the country's president agree to clear the forests in Romania, and no one is taking any action!
@Hutan Butuh Kamu Yes.
@RADAR COMBAT Cutting trees for timber is not was cause deforestation. Deforestation is when the forest is replaced by agriculture land, single-family suburbs and huge parking lots. Wood is actually the most ecological building material when recolted in the right way
@x Well when trees are cut down to replace them by a suburb, huge parking lots or big commercial areas, then it is unsustainable. Otherwise, forest always grows back very quickly
This is why I hate paying taxes! The people elect a government to represent them, they pay their salaries through taxes and the government never listens to the people that don't generate more taxes for them. Now I'm all for capitalism but it's up to government to protect the natural environment
@@luckyunlucky3893 It's up to us to change our lifestyle. Seriously, who would vote for a government saying: "if you vote for me, 4x4 SUVs will become illegal, you won't be allowed to eat to the restaurant more than once per month, you can't take the plane more than once every 4 year and you can't purchase a new phone until you kept it for at least 5 years"??? Businesses make pollution because they produce what society overconsumes, and new businesses that offer better alternatives for the environment won't appear magically out of nowhere. It's up to all of us to change the way we live. Of course the government must pass some laws to make things change faster, but the biggest % of pollution comes directly from our individual behavior.
As I remember from New Zealand, the native forests look rather like the temperate rainforest in Chile than those high-elevation alpine forests. The coniferous forest in the foreground of Mount Cook looks like one of the numerous plantation forests for logging you can find there.
Our "Green" "Liberal" government has eneacted a carbon system where it is now profitable to clear native forest and replace with fast growing pine or cedar. Its like one side of the political spectrum wants to do almost nothing about the environment and the other side wants to do a lot but every attempt just makes it worse :/

Hello from a Canadian forest boy! Wish my government was doing more to protect the forests here.
Canada has one of the most protected forests in the world! And certainly one of the better forest industries.
don't worry. Canada has very little people and has already industrialized and due to the harsh conditions up north, most forests are protected :)
Check out the laws regarding logging in Canada.
We lose about 0.01% of forests each year, mostly due to urban growth and farming.
Canadian forests are much less at risk but should still be protected same with other taiga areas its just too harsh for most humans and farming
Respect on the detail rich coverage of each of the forests! This is a treasure trove of a video! Thank you. P.S. Go Forests!
Bears, Tigers, and Leopards coexist in many parts of India, Nepal, and Bhutan.
They do, but maybe not big enough forest to put in 10
I was about to say the same.
In 90s when I was a child and my father was the conservator of Jim Corbett national park he told me a story that happened there, it was a fight between a tiger and leopard. The leopard had killed the Tigers cub and so the tiger tracked down the leapard and killed him. It was supposedly a furious fight.

I would hate to become 1st on this list if the Amazon rain forest goes away.
It won't go away, as you can see we are managing to drastically reduce the deforestation over the years. Also, the rainforest has a very high ability to regenerate itself, which should be considered in all those deforestation researches, but for some reason, they aren't.
Also, it would help if people from all over ther world (specially from the first world) were not buying lands in the amazon and if their companies were not destro... er.... exploring it.
@@g.araujo1043 One problem is they seem to be burning the land after clearing it.
Once a forest is gone and there's nothing left but open grass or a farm which drains the soil of it's nutrients.
It becomes very tough for anything to grow in dead soil, at least for a while.
Apparently there are places you can go to buy Amazon rain forest to help preserve it, but unless they have proven credit I'm a bit cautious.

A tremendous overview. More people need to see this and wake up to the importance of the world's ecosystems and the need to protect them.

He thought he was slick, sliding that in.
I was hoping someone else would notice that.
i've searched for this comment
🎄 Trees are the earth lungs why are we cutting em down
teddy nyakado it’s actually the oceans
Overpopulation
Because they love beef
Some people care about their lungs and some people don't 😢
@@acesharpshooter1400 but good news bc most young people these days dont have kids so it helps with the overpopulation
Great video.Thanks, man❤
It was fascinating and also sad.
So happy that this channel exists
Please humans dont destroy the beauty of our mother earth !!!!!
Ali Ahammed Shawon right on we’ve only got one earth
Dont worry, Thea earth is doing just fine. Its the people that are fucked up. Soon humans wil become extinct and the earth will be revitalized.
Humans aren't going extinct any time soon bud. The only way the earth is going to be revitalized is through our own efforts.
@ We already recycle materials which makes us use the materials of 3-4 planets already. In the future it will be 10 times that amount
Regarding the Canadian Boreal Forest: one big factor that protects much of it is the simple fact that we have a fair bit of non-boreal, managed, second-and-third growth forests as well. The coast of BC is non-boreal, largely having a strong backbone of douglas fir, which is an excellent wood for most uses of timber (it is fairly soft and relatively plain, so it can't really compete with the hardwood industry out in southern Quebec and New England bits of the US, or the tropical hardwoods with their fancy fine grains and rich colours). It grows fairly quickly, with many wood lots being suitable for harvesting every 20-30 years rather than the 40-80 year turnover of most slower growing trees. So...large swathes of the Canadian Boreal Forest are unprotected because there's no real need to - it's not economical to harvest trees in a wintery hellscape when they take twice as long to grow as the trees that grow in the place that will usually just make you cold and wet.
Also, about 94% of Canada's forests are on crown lands. That is: land owned by the government (technically led by the Queen of Canada, better known as the Queen of England, but also the Queen of Many Other Places, hence "crown"). While it may be true that only 8% of it is in designated protected lands, (the source I found said 12%, but I'm not going to quibble), the government has full regulatory authority over most of Canada's forests. You can't just walk up into one of these forests with a chainsaw and start cutting. (Well, you can, because there are way more trees in Canada than law enforcement people, but if you keep doing it and try to sell the wood and all, you're definitely getting arrested.) And what *is* forested is subject to stringent regulations as to what kind of work is permitted. Any waterway has a riperian reserve around it in which forestry is forbidden. "Clearcuts" have to leave something like 10% of the trees standing because for several of the birds we're actively working to protect, their nest habitat is "anything that's poking significantly above the canopy capable of supporting a nest." (Given these are eagles and hawks and such, load bearing branches are actually relevant - these are not the featherweight songbird types.) Some percentage of each landscape unit (a specific fairly small region of forest) has 30 to 70% of every ecosystem type put into reserves. (So if you've got a simple one that's half douglas fir and half red cedar, that percent that gets designated as a reserve applies to each of those independently.) The actual process of doing this is a hell of a lot more complicated because most LUs have a couple dozen different ecosystems, some of which are very small percentages of them. There's protections on nest trees for bald eagles, goshawks, and a few other species.
All in all, it's an astonishing amount of red tape. And this is in actively forested lands that forestry companies are leasing. The majority of forested lands are just empty wilderness as far as humans are concerned - far enough out from any community that it's honestly just not worth going out there even if you could log them. Canada, is one of the largest expanses of largely unsettled land - we have 3.8 people per square kilometer for the country, and at least 2/3 of that number are crammed into the 4% of the country within 100km of the southern border. (The chunk of the US that is not Alaska). (Some people claim more, I'm going by a report released by Statscan based on the 2016 census.) So if you write off that chunk, you come to 1.3 people per square kilometer for 96% of the country...and 63.4 people per square kilometer for the other 4%. So most of Canada is about half as settled as Australia or Siberia (which is not a country, but is a big chunk of Russia that is famously not heavily settled. (Australia weighs in at 3.4 people per square kilometer, while Siberia weighs in at 2.6.) (Of course, there is probably an intelligent way to slash those numbers down for large chunks of Australia and Siberia as well, I just don't know the logical region to point out as being the place with most of the people)
Right now (and in the forseeable future), our biggest threat to the Canadian Boreal Forest isn't foresters, it's climate change. One issue we've had crop up is the pine beetle - at least one species of which originated fairly far north in BC. Historically, harsh early winters caused large percentages of its population to die off every few years (it has to be early because they produce a biological antifreeze when they go into hibernation that keeps them alive), which kept them from spreading in large numbers. We've not had one of those winters in far too long, allowing pine beetle populations to soar and allowing their range to expand south beyond the point of freezing. Large chunks of the southern part of the boreal forest in BC have died off, thanks to the uncontrolled pine beetle infestation. Ironically, the best thing we can do for carbon sequestration in these areas is _as much forestry as possible_. These large stands of standing dead, dry, wood are excellent fuel for forest fires, and we've had several bad years in that regard recently. By cutting that wood and putting it to use in timber frame construction, we at least delay the carbon sequestered in that wood from being released in the unstoppable inferno these dead forests will inevitably become. It will rot eventually (unless we haul it to a peat bog and throw it in, I suppose), but even delaying the release of carbon to some future date is good. And good timber frame construction with a properly designed water envelope lasts quite a long time. Long enough that if we're still around to be deciding what to do about the rot in these buildings, we've probably got an intelligent solution for carbon sequestration up and running.
I like watching you vids because they are sound so realistic and just the topics are cool, also you explaine more
"Shells never belonged to anyone. The same goes for the sea and the land." A very good quote from a character who ended up taking the wrong path. In a way, I agree. It's weird how much one species has changed the world so dramatically to the detriment of most other species on the planet. I wonder if it's really okay that us humans get to decide what belongs to us.
What sappy communist nonsense. Nature is territorial, almost all species claim things as theirs. Not just humans. And YES, it is "ok" that humans get to decide what belongs to us. who else? wtf? do you think nature is a democracy?
Nature isn't "fair" either.
Peter Belanger “communist” lul
@@peterbelanger4094 we're the only species actively destroying our environment, because we make things that are beyond our needs for survival. Our greatest accomplishment from that, in my opinion, is music.
Commentary on the #10 forest (Russia) said only place on earth where bears, tigers and leopards are found, which is not true. Most forests in India have bears, leopards and tigers coesxisting. What many also don’t know is India also has the only wild population of Asian lions, so you can add them well to that list. But still great video
True
right bro
@Omer Adnan Do they have Tigers and Lion...does Russia have Lions?
He Means Amur And Siberian Tiger With A Bear Only In Great Russia
@@ssam3826 Tigers and lions do not normally coexist
We desperately need to protect these wonderful and vital places!
Hello
one of the best videos I've seen in awhile
Really appreciate your effort...
The image you used to depict Manchurian sika deer (Cervus nippon mantchuricus) actually shows a European fallow deer (Dama dama).
Who else saw Wolverine at 13:34, played by Hugh Jackman, flash for about 0.25 seconds?
Do you play it on 0.25x speed?
If ur not SPED you can see it at normal speed
editing error
Yes the character is Canadian
Wolverine's only really good in the old cartoon series. The movies suck. Just saying..
This channel is a jewel 💎, a lot of information in short time
Such a great channel.
