The country of Mongolia (a Buddhist majority nation) has launched an official national campaign to plant one billion tress by 2030. This noble move is sanctioned and supported by the government to deal with the country's threat of climate change.
With a total land area of 1.6 million square kilometers, only 7.9 per cent of Mongolia is covered by forests, while some 77 per cent of the country has been subject to desertification and land degradation, according to data from the Ministry of Environment and Tourism. Since 2010, Mongolia has designated the second Saturday in May and October as national tree-planting days.
