Bhutan, the greenest country in the world

"Bhutan is the world’s first carbon negative country. Mainly because of its extensive forests, covering 70% of the land, the Kingdom is able to absorb more carbon dioxide than it produces . . . Strict conservation is essential for Bhutan to control the level of carbon in the nation. Their constitution stipulates that at least 60% of Bhutan should be covered by forest. More than half of the country is covered by protected national forests, nature reserves, and wildlife protection areas. The government also creates good conditions for people living in protected areas, both to protect the forest and to prevent hunting, mining, and forest pollution."
