Land for special needs encompasses multiple subcategories, including land of protected areas (chapter 11), land allocated for the purpose of ensuring national defence and land for scientific and technological tests and sites for regular environmental and climate monitoring. The categoiy "Land with forest resources" is broader than the area actually covered by forests, which was 7.85 per cent of the countiy’s territoiy in 2016. The annual growth rate of the urban population was 2.40 per cent between 1987 and 2015, 10 times of that of the rural population (0.24 per cent).
