I am always happy to hear about reforestation, but has somebody understood out of which source the numbers from china are coming? I mean they are sometimes quite the enthusiasts talking about their successes
-
the article linked cites the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations as its source, so it's not using china's numbers for this
-
Okay thanks, I guess I overlooked that :)

-
Source for your claim that they sometimes lie about their accomplishments?
-
It's not like forest cover is hard to verify by satellite imagery. Lying about reforestation and deforestation is hard.
-
The satellite imagery shows a net loss compared to CCP figures which show a net gain. China lies more easily than it tells the truth.
