Text answer

The indicator is not particularly relevant for The Faroe Islands as there are no proper forests. Most of the plantations are protected managed by Forest Protection Agency and the Forest Care division of the Environment Agency.

This table provides metadata for the actual indicator available from data.faroeislands statistics closest to the corresponding global SDG indicator. Please note that even when the global SDG indicator is fully available from Faroese statistics, this table should be consulted for information on national methodology and other Faroese-specific metadata information.
