The diagram below shows the changes in the number of people who rely on fuel from organic sources from 2004 to 2030. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.

SAMPLE ANSWER
The table compares and contrasts data on the changes that are expected to occur in the dependence of people in 8 different regions on traditional forms of biomass over a 27-year period from 2004-2030.
In general, reliance on biomass is predicted to increase in the majority of these areas with the notable exceptions of China and most of Latin America.
Sub-Saharan Africa is forecast to experience the largest increase, rising from 575 million people using biofuel in 2004 to 720 million in 2030. By contrast, the number of people dependant on this form of energy is predicted to fall the most in China from 480 million to 394 million, a decline of 86 million. The only two areas expected to show no change in biomass usage are the rest of Latin America, from 2004 to 2015, and North Africa, from 2015 to 2030, with 60 million and 5 million users respectively.
