Table 4-2 shows the change in size of forest areas over the last decade, as well as planned and targeted areas for the next two decades. During the past decade, officially declared forest areas (defined as areas with canopy density of at least 20 percent) increased from less than 10 million ha in 2000 to about 13.6 million ha in 2010. The Government further plans to increase the forested area to 65 percent of total land by 2015, or 15.4 million ha, and to particularly promote protected and conserved forests. This could be achieved by rehabilitation and replantation of degraded or abandoned land. By 2020, the Government plans to increase the forested area to 70 percent of total land.
