Before the Vikings came, Iceland was a densely forested land with tall trees and forests covering as much as 40% of its area. Today, with dedicated afforestation efforts, only 2% of Iceland's surface is covered with forests.

The country lost most of its trees more than a thousand years ago, when Viking settlers took their axes to the forests that covered one-quarter of the countryside. Now Icelanders would like to get some of those forests back, to improve and stabilize the country's harsh soils, help agriculture and fight climate change.

The world is losing 10 million hectares of forest each year due to deforestation, about the size of Iceland

The combination of this extensive deforestation, volcanic activity, and grazing by livestock prevented natural regrowth. Additionally, Iceland's cool climate and short growing season make it difficult for trees to establish and thrive
