- goatlover 5y agoI did read it and there I've read others that say this: https://news.mongabay.com/2018/08/earth-has-more-trees-now-than-35-years-ago/ https://news.mongabay.com/2018/08/earth-has-more-trees-now-t... I take it that trend held up over the last 20 years given what NASA has reported on plant growth increasing by 5% this century. https://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/images/146296/global-green-up-slows-warming https://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/images/146296/global-green... Deforestation and reforestation are separate measurements, but the article does mention both and here is a quote: "For the past 30 years, temperate regions have seen a continued increase in forest cover through afforestation: you see this as the bars are now ‘positive’ (pointing upwards). Across temperate forests the world gained 6 million hectares in the last decade."
