according to (checks notes) ... "visualcapitalist". Yeah that sounds like a totally unbiased and reliable source.

I wonder if this includes tree plantations. Those should not be considered forests in my view.

Sure but what's the forest growth per capita?

[–] Vode_An@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago (4 children)

How is that relevant? Serious question, I don’t see a link between forests and per capita that actually matters. If we were talking about economic comparisons, sure. If anything, adjusting it as “per sq mile of forestable land” would make more sense.
