IN a 2005 New York Tunes report titled: 'China Is Bright Spot in Dark Report on the World's Diminishing Forests,' Ms. Mette L. Wilkie, forest officer of the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), was quoted as saying: 'Asia lost about 3,000 square miles of forest a year in the 90s, but gained nearly 4,000 annually since 2000. Almost all of that change has occurred because of China's new forest policy.' The article concluded that widespread tree planting in China has slowed the rate at which the earth's forested land is dwindling. So what's been happening on the ground?
