Reforestation helps reduce the impact of carbon dioxide emissions. Efforts to protect Taiwan's woodlands and replant areas previously cleared of trees are helping to chip away at escalating carbon dioxide emissions. Natural reserve areas (664,076 hectares) account for 41,7% of Taiwan's state-owned forests: they contain almost 52 % of the country's standing timber.
