The Forests
Personal memory by Reporter
1975 • Ho Chi Mihn City, Vietnam
The forest was bombed and napalmed by the U.S., but it was after the war—after 1975—that for 20 years the forests were cut down and sold for the countries income. A substantial percentage of the forest was cut down. Vietnam has the 3rd worst rate of deforestation in the world.
