TheForest Landscape Integrity Index (FLII) is an annual global index offorest condition measured by degree ofanthropogenic modification.^{[1][2][3][4][5]} Created by a team of 47 scientists,^[6] the FLII, in its measurement of 300m pixels of forest across the globe, finds that ~17.4 million km² of forest has high landscape-level integrity (with a score from 9.6–10), compared to ~14.6 million with medium integrity (6–9.6) and ~12.2 million km² with low integrity (0–6).^[7]

The FLII finds that most remaining high-integrity forest landscapes are found inCanada,Russia, theRocky Mountains,Alaska, theAmazon,the Guianas,southern Chile,Central Africa, andNew Guinea. Low integrity forests, on the other hand, are found inWestern andCentral Europe, theAmerican Southeast,South-East Asia, west ofNew Guinea, theAndes, much ofChina andIndia, theAlbertine Rift,West Africa,Mesoamerica, and theAtlantic Forests ofBrazil.

The results are meant to help decision-makers at all levels achieve their commitments to theSustainable Development Goals (SDGs),United Nations Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD),Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD), and theFramework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).^[1]

An ecosystem is considered to have integrity when its structure, composition, and ecological processes are within their natural range.^[8]
