Serbia is considered a medium-forested country. According to the Second National Forest Inventory of the Republic of Serbia carried out in the period 2018-2023 (source: https://upravazasume.gov.rs ), the total area of forests and forest lands in Serbia amounts to 3.025.471 ha, which is 39% of the country’s total land area. The ratio of state to private property on the forest area is 42% : 58%. Compared to the previous National Forest Inventory (published in 2009), the increase in forest cover is about 5%. The increase in the area under forests compared to the reference year of 1979 (which was about 24%) has been significant; among other things, it has had a positive impact on the environmental conditions and quality in general.
