# Areas

Forest Report provides detailed maps and statistics for each area. In FR areas are organized into Lists so you can rank, sort, and compare Areas, for example to find areas with the most recent deforestation or  the largest amount of primary forest. FR can support a wide range of data Modules.

For point locations FR automatically provides data for the area within 5, 10, 25, and 50km.&#x20;

You can view an Area by selecting it in the List Dashboard and then choosing to open the [Area Dashboard](/dashboards/area-dashboard.md)

![Example Area Dashboard: forest alerts in a 25km area around a palm oil mill](/files/-M-keOLVRjijqeo1W2I-)

The [Area Dashboard](/dashboards/area-dashboard.md) shows you a map of the area and the data for all the installed data modules. Selecting the toggle button above a data module on the right will activate a map layer for that dataset on the map. Depending on the type of [Module](/forest-report-basics/modules.md) it may show a chart, for example a pie chart for land cover data, or just a number and percentage of the Area.

From the [Area Dashboard](/dashboards/area-dashboard.md) you can also create drawings on the map, select satellite imagery, and save the Area to a Report

To learn more about using the dashboard see the [Area Dashboard](/dashboards/area-dashboard.md) page.&#x20;
