Great News - China's Reforestation Efforts Successful, NASA Images Confirm

[OnlinePoker]

China has managed to reverse centuries-worth of deforestation, according to recently released NASA images, providing some inspiration and hope for other countries to do the same.

The country has been on a steady trend towards industrialization, which is often correlated with environmental degradation. Deforestation, pollution and natural resources depletion have resulted from China's rapid economic boom in the past four decades.

Many did not expect the environmental improvements that China was able to achieve but this was scientifically verified. Based on the images captured by NASA's Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS), it was revealed that 1.6 percent of the total land surface of China became heavily forested in a span of only ten years from 2000 to 2010.
