The Great Green Return: Europe’s Forests Expand by the Size of Portugal.

The Great Green Return: Europe’s Forests Expand by the Size of Portugal

BRUSSELS – While global deforestation remains a challenge, Europe is telling a different story. Over the last 30 years, the continent’s forest area has grown by an area equivalent to the size of Portugal.

Better land management, natural regeneration, and massive tree-planting initiatives have transformed abandoned lands back into thriving ecosystems. Today, forests cover more than 40% of Europe’s land mass.

"Nature is reclaiming its space. We are seeing the return of biodiversity and a natural cooling effect across the continent."

This "Green Return" is vital for carbon capture and provides a home for wolves, bears, and lynx populations that are also on the rise.
