That's nearly a Texas area of forest.

The picture shows that Vietnam has more with 56.2%....

I am always happy to hear about reforestation, but has somebody understood out of which source the numbers from china are coming? I mean they are sometimes quite the enthusiasts talking about their successes

What the hell is PRK doing!?

I would be hesitant in claiming this as a win. I know that Japan has one of the highest number of trees per capita in the g7 but that was a hold over from post WW2. Where they planted a shit ton of a singular tree type. The monoculture wrecks havoc in their ecosystem. All this to say it's good that they are planting trees I'm just hoping they are doing it planning it out carefully.
