India adding 300,000 hectares of forest every year:
India is adding 300,000 hectares of forest every year even as the country along with China, Australia, Indonesia and Myanmar account for around 74 per cent of the world's forest cover, according to a UN report.
Indonesia, which has been losing forests at a rapid pace in recent years, plans to plant 100 million trees across the country this year in an effort to limit deforestation, a forestry official said.
