Forest cover in Belarus has reached its record level

Forest cover has reached a record high of 40.5% in recent decades. It's the result of a tremendous amount of work, including community support through labor campaigns and cleanup days. Currently, there is over 1 hectare of forest per capita in Belarus. The total forest area is 9.8 mln hectares. The country's "lungs" experience significant growth twice a year – in the fall and spring, during large-scale plantings. Last year alone, reforestation was completed on an area of ​​36.000 hectares, significantly exceeding the target.
