“A lone hiker makes his way back down off the face of a rocky and forested mountain in South Korea. The country is a shining example of one of the most successful
#reforestation programs in history.
.
Since the 1960s, government policies have encouraged large-scale reforestation. Now around 60% of South Korea is covered in restored forest.
.
South Korea’s example serves as a potential working model for other nations facing severe forest loss. Reforestation will play a crucial role in our fight against
#climatechange, as trees are the Earth’s natural carbon dioxide absorbers, which they do at no cost.”
