As of 2005, 12,931,000 hectares (the equivalent of 39.7% of Vietnam's land cover) was forested, although only 85,000 hectares (0.7% of the land cover) was primary forest, the most biodiverse form of forest. [citation needed] Vietnam’s forest recovery is a notable success story, with forest cover increasing in recent decades after a period of ...
The forest cover in the park is of the order of 96.2% of primary forest. In April 2009, a group of cave explorers from the British Caving Association conducted surveys in this park and adjacent areas. The biggest chamber of Sơn Đoòng cave is about 4.5 kilometres (2.8 mi) in length, 140 by 140 metres (460 by 460 ft) in size was discovered. [19]
The Northern Vietnam lowland rain forests ecoregion (WWF ID: IM0141) covers the central-eastern coast of Vietnam from the Red River delta in the north to Tam Kỳ in the center of the country and neighboring adjacent parts of Laos. The region is one of the wet evergreen forests, with rain over 50 mm in every month.

Defoliants had destroyed around 7,700 square miles of forests, estimating to be around 6% of the total land in Vietnam. The effects of Agent Orange persisted after the war, and lead to Vietnam's forest cover declining by 50% in the years during the war and after, reaching an all-time low for forest cover in the 80's and 90's.

The new species lives in forest environments near water sources, the researchers said. The species was discovered in Y Ty Commune, in Lao Cai Province, Vietnam, in the northwestern region of the ...
In 2010, the world had 3.92 billion hectares (ha) of tree cover, extending over 30% of its land area. [1] [need quotation to verify] In 2020, the world had a total forest area of 4.06 billion ha, which was 31 percent of the total land area.
