Forests now cover 45% of Nepal. Local communities are responsible for forests that citizens plant and help to protect. Between 1992 and 2016 the tree cover in Nepal doubled. Nepal is getting aid from developed nations for the tree planting program, but the Nepalese population is making the program work. Rainfall has increased, wildlife has increased, and the army of Nepal helps to protect the forests and the wildlife. What an amazing country.
