In 1976, Romania initiated an ambitious forestry program aimed at conservation and reforestation, requiring citizens aged 7 to 60 to plant at least one tree annually. The program aimed to restore forest areas and increase the proportion of coniferous trees. Despite initial goals, current forest coverage has improved but still falls short of targets set decades ago. Historical deforestation has significantly impacted Romania's forest landscape, with extensive logging practices persisting through various political regimes. Today, forests cover nearly one-third of Romania, with ongoing challenges in sustainable management and conservation.
