七幅地圖帶你從七個角度看世界

5. The world's greenest places
5. 世界上最綠的地方

The map above shows those countries with the highest percentage of forest area, according to World Bank Open Data. Unsurprisingly, the tropical lands of South America, the Caribbean, Africa, south-east Asia and the South Pacific dominate, with Suriname, Micronesia, Palau, Gabon, Guyana, American Samoa and the Solomon Islands all in the top 10. But some more northerly countries fare well too, with Finland (72.9 percent forest area), 11th, Sweden (69.2 percent) 15th, and Japan (68.6 percent) 17th. And the least tree-filled countries? There are four with no forest whatsoever, according to World Bank's definition - San Marino, Qatar, Greenland and Oman - while in a further 12 places there is less than one percent.
上面的地圖基于世界銀行公開數據庫，顯示了森林覆蓋率最高的國家。不出所料，南美洲的熱帶地區、加勒比地區、非洲、東南亞和蘇里南、密克羅尼亞、帕勞、加蓬、圭亞那、美屬薩摩亞和所羅門群島等南太平洋國家位列前十。但是一些北半球的國家也不錯，芬蘭（森林面積72.9%）位于第11位，瑞典（69.2%）第15位，日本（68.6%）第17位。森林覆蓋率最少的國家呢？根據世界銀行的定義，有四個國家一點森林都沒有，它們是圣馬力諾、卡塔爾、格陵蘭、阿曼。還有12個地方的森林覆蓋率少于百分之一。
