Based on the historical information from various sources collated from 1934 to 2010, the Philippine forest cover was decreasing. In 1934, from old maps cited by Revilla, forest cover was at 17 million hectares. The succeeding data points based from Master Plan for Forestry Development followed a decreasing trend until 1987 with 6.461 million hectares based on RP- GERMAN National Forest Resource Inventory.
