the XX century 35% of Ethiopia was covered with trees. In the 2000s, their
number had dropped to 4%. The initiative "Green Heritage" takes place in

4 billion plant. Also, the Ethiopian government say that by planting as many
trees per day, they set a new world record. In 2016, a similar record was
recorded in India, whereas 800 thousand volunteers per day planted over 50
million trees. As reported by the BBC, critics of the Prime Minister of Ethiopia
has claimed that with the help of "green" initiatives it distracts people from
other problems in the country - for example, severe ethnic
conflicts. </DIV>
