Is deforestation being offset by reforestation efforts?

Globally, deforestation—especially in the Amazon and parts of Africa—remains a major issue. However, reforestation is gaining momentum. China’s “Great Green Wall” has planted billions of trees, and India set a world record by planting 66 million trees in a single day. Satellite data also shows Europe’s forest cover has increased over the past century. Media literacy helps audiences recognize the dual realities: deforestation continues in some regions, but reforestation is a growing trend. Fact-based truth: global forest management is uneven, yet progress in reforestation offers real hope for climate and ecosystems.
