Forests cover 31 percent of the world’s land surface or about 4 billion hectares. We’ll look at the 10 countries with the largest forest area and conclude with some more facts.
Forests provide livelihoods for millions of people, including many of the world’s poorest, but the world’s forest area is decreasing. Cropland expansion, livestock grazing and urban and infrastructure development are the main causes of deforestation. Just one-third of the world’s forests are primary forests where effects of human activities is absent or minimal.

Apple Valuation. Is now a good time to invest in Apple stock? We look at sales by category, like iPhone net sales or products and services, and by country/geographic region. Based on Apple’s net income we calculate Apple’s price-to-earnings ratio, which is a very popular metric investors use to value a company. We also cover Apple’s book value per share. Whether you invest in Apple is your decision. This video may serve as inspiration but I am neither recommending you to buy nor to sell any Apple shares or securities.
