Don't know what the global stats show, I tend to think global but act local. Personally I cut about 30 trees per year and plant 300.

This is actually frightening when looking at deforrestation. How many trees cut down daily.?
FAR TOO MANY!
Afghanistan has lost over 70% of its forests throughout the country
Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia, Bangladesh, China, Sri Lanka, Laos, Nigeria, Liberia, Guinea, Ghana and the Cote d'lvoire have lost large areas of their rainforest. 90% of the forests of the Philippine archipelago have been cut. In 1960 Central America still had 4/5 of its original forest; now it is left with only 2/5 of it. Madagascar has lost 95% of its rainforests. Atlantic coast of Brazil has lost 90-95% of its Mata Atlântica rainforest. Half of the Brazilian state of Rondonia's 24.3 million hectares have been destroyed or severely degraded in recent years. As of 2007, less less than 1% of Haiti's forests remain, causing many to call Haiti a Caribbean desert.[8] Between 1990 and 2005, the Nigeria lost a staggering 79% of its old-growth
Australia
Victoria and NSW's remnant red gum forests, including the Murray River's Barmah-Millewa, are increasingly being clear-felled using mechanical harvesters, destroying already rare habitat. Macnally estimates that approximately 81% of fallen timber has been removed from the southern Murray Darling basin,[31] and the Mid-Murray Forest Management Area (including the Barmah and Gunbower forests) provides about 80% of Victoria's red gum timber.[32]
Ethiopia has lost 98% of its forested regions in the last 50 years
United States
about 4 million square kilometers (1 billion acres) in 1600. For the next 300 years land was cleared, mostly for agriculture at a rate that matched the rate of population growth
Species extinctions in the Eastern Forest
4 become extinct either wholly or mostly because of habitat loss, the passenger pigeon, Carolina parakeet, ivory-billed woodpecker, and Bachman’s warbler.[30]
I usually don't use this link for information but I well imagine this IS accurate.
