Viet Nam Case Study: Prepared for FAO as part of the State of the World’s Forests 2016 (SOFO)
Over the last 25 years (1990-2015), Viet Nam has experienced drastic changes in forest conditions. By early 1990s, Vietnam's forest area reached lowest in history. Yet, the two decades later experienced significant increase of forest area in both plantation and natural forests, from 9.14 million ha (28% forest cover) in 1990 to 13.95 million ha (40.96% forest cover) in 2013, representing an increase of 4.8 million ha in 23 years or 210 thousand ha per year (FAO 2014). Along with this line is the expansion of forest area through afforestation, natural expansion of forest and reforestation. </p> <p>Read the full report of the <a href="http://www.fao.org/3/a-i5588e.pdf "><i>State of the World’s Forests (SOFO) 2016</i></a></p><p>Read the <a href="http://www.fao.org/3/a-i5850e.pdf "><i>Brochure</i></a> of the <i>State of the World’s Forests (SOFO) 2016</i></p>Read the <a href="http://www.fao.org/3/a-i5852e.pdf "><i>Flyer</i></a></p> See the <a href="http://www.fao.org/3/a-C0176e.pdf "><i>In fographic</i></a></p> <p>Visit the <a href="http://www.fao.org/publications/sofo/2016/en/"><i>Sofo 2016 webpage</p></a><p>Read the other six country case studies:</p> <ul> <li><a href="http://www.fao.org/3/a-C0180e.pdf ">Costa Rica</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.fao.org/3/a-C0184e.pdf ">Chile</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.fao.org/3/a-C0182e.pdf ">Gambia</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.fao.org/3/a-C0181e.pdf ">Georgia</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.fao.org/3/a-C0183e.pdf ">Ghana</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.fao.org/3/a-C0185e.pdf ">Tunisia</a></li> </ul>
