ôte d’Ivoire occupies 32.2 million hectares. Of those, 10.4 million hectares are covered by forest, 7.1 million by cropland and 15.8 million by grazing land, with 0.6 million hectares supporting its built infrastructure. Located along the Atlantic Coast of Africa, Côte d’Ivoire has 0.9 million hectares of continental shelf and 0.5 million hectares of inland water. Adjusting for its cropland and forest yields, which are lower than corresponding global averages, and its grazing land and fishery yields, which are higher than the global average, Côte d’Ivoire has a biocapacity of 39.5 million global

Côte d’Ivoire’s average Ecological Footprint per person is 0.9 gha, smaller than both the world average Footprint and the amount of biocapacity available per person on the planet. It is also considerably smaller than the 2.2 gha of biocapacity available per person within Côte d’Ivoire. As its population grew from 3.7 million to 18.2 million between 1961 and 2005, biocapacity per person in Côte d’Ivoire decreased by 72 percent.
