to this appointment, we add the fact that in 1996, was conducted an investigation that aimed to measure the country's forest cover, with the result that 27.5% of the territory was covered by forests . In 2003, another study was unveiled by the increase of these natural areas to 32.89%, representing an increase of 5.4%.
The recovery of forest cover currently logged between 33% and 35%, MIMARENA, attributes to actions primarily through the National Plan Quisqueya Verde, some of which have been executed on both sides of the border In coordination with Haiti.
The recent report from the state agency reported that during 2010, were planted 11 million 400 thousand trees of different species, among which are: mahogany, native pine, cedar, ceiba, oak and tamarind; crops that we care for that forests continue filling Dominicans of life.
