More than 10 million ha are natural forests.

The Ministry has assigned the Administration of Forestry to establish a national forest resources database.
The Ministry required localities that recorded a reduction in natural forest area in 2021 to investigate the causes of the reduction and undertake measures to restore the forests, as well as to identify and punish those who are responsible for the reduction in forest area.
Vietnam's forest coverage was 42.01% in 2020.
