Question

Why does Japan have a high percentage of land under forest covers?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Japan is a land of forests and mountains. About 25 million hectares are forested, covering some 67 percent of the country. This figure is over twice as large as the world's average 29 percent forest cover of land. However, Japan's forest area per capita is a meager 0.2 hectares due to the country's large population. The total forest area has remained unchanged for the past 30 years.

Data for the year 2000 from the Japan Forestry Investigation Committee shows that about 60 percent of Japan's forests are natural (including old growth forest and forest that has been logged but and left unplanted, so that they regenerate "naturally") and the remaining 40 percent are plantations. Plantation forests increased by 30 percent to 10 million hectares between 1966 and 1995 while natural forests shrunk by 15 percent to 13 million hectares during the same period
