China Planted 78 Billion New Trees—and Seriously Messed Up Its Water Cycle

The country has planted a bunch of new trees since 1981, but that extra foliage is shifting more precipitation to some areas while drying out others.

    In Estonia we plant about 20-40 millions of trees every year.

    RMK ( State Forest Management Center) alone plants about 20-25 million trees every year.

    And we are nation with 1,3 million people. So for China that number over the years isn’t big at all.

    I always laugh when in the western news there is some organization, what makes big words that they planted 2 million trees and if that is something of a big achivments what should be boasted around the news.
