Cuba ended 2015 with 30.6% of its territory covered by forests, a result that confirms the island\u2019s place within the small group of developing nations that maintain sustained growth of this important environmental indicator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the report \u201cEnvironmental Outlook: Cuba 2015\u201d, published by the National Office of Statistics and Information (www.onei.cu), in 2010 the forest area of the archipelago was 27.6%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once again, the province of Pinar del R\u00edo has seen the greatest reforestation, with 47% of its total area covered by trees, followed by Guant\u00e1namo with 46.7%, Matanzas with 39.1%, Holgu\u00edn with 38.3%, Santiago de Cuba with 33% and Granma with 26.7%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, the Isle of Youth Special Municipality has a significant 65.2% of its total area covered by trees, while in Las Tunas province forests cover just 19% of the local area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
