Quang Ninh's forest cover rate reached 45.5%, exceeding the target set for 2025.

On March 5, 2025, the Provincial People's Committee issued Decision No. 646/QD-UBND approving the results of monitoring forest changes and announcing the forest status of Quang Ninh in 2024. On this basis, the Department of Agriculture and Environment organized the announcement of the forest status in 2024.

Accordingly, the total area of forests and land planned for forest development in the whole Quang Ninh province in 2024 is 433,665.93 hectares. Of which, forests and special-use forest land are 30,034.1 hectares; forests and protective forest land are 132,814.59 hectares; forests and production forest land are 270,807.23 hectares.

Of the 433,665.93 hectares of forest and land planned for forest development in 2024 in Quang Ninh, 321,273.57 hectares are forested, including: 119,652.7 hectares of natural forest, 162,357.3 hectares of planted forest and 39,263.3 hectares of planted forest. The entire forest area of Quang Ninh has been assigned to forest owners and management organizations.

Regarding the forest cover rate of Quang Ninh in 2024, it is 45.5%, exceeding the target set for 2025 of 45% forest cover; because before that, under the impact of storm No. 3 Yagi (September 7, 2024), Quang Ninh forests were severely damaged, causing the forest cover rate to decrease from 55.5% before the storm to 38% after the storm.

Immediately after Typhoon Yagi, with many positive and effective solutions, the entire Quang Ninh province focused on forest restoration. In the first 3 months of 2025, the whole province entered the new forest planting season, thereby planting 15,333 hectares of new forest, equal to 410% compared to the same period last year. According to the assessment of the Department of Agriculture and Environment, with this result, Quang Ninh is determined to complete the target of planting new forests in 2025, reaching 31,874 hectares.
