Countries with the Most Forest

We've got a lot of bush.

"The bush" is what we call the forest, sillie

Forest Engineer here: Depends on their definition of a forested area. Strictly speaking, a bush alone doesn't constitute a forest. It goes without saying that the definition of a forest is ambiguous at best.

Kalbahamut- someone who gets the joke. Down under we have a lot of bush.

they're in the middle of doing so, they've already destroyed massive amounts over most of brazil.

Not much bush with Brazilian.

If we were talking by percentage of landmass, I'm sure they would, but PNG is not quite half a million square kilometres.

I now see Jerry928 has exactly that quiz and PNG indeed makes it, but not Madagascar.

Papua New Guinea is very mountainous, so it probably has a lot of land above the tree line

Not much of its land is above the tree line. It is mostly covered in forest, but being a relatively small country it doesn't come high on the list.

Yea I think Northeast Australia is where a lot of forest is. and dingos lol

exactly what I was looking for, which should have more surprising results... let's do it

I'm suprised that the U.S. is so low. Even Florida has a lot of forest

It's more than just the Appalachians in the South. Pretty much the entire region east of the Mississippi is forest, even the urban areas. If you've ever flown into Atlanta, look around as you're landing. The entire city is surrounded by woods.

Yours is the same topic, so in that aspect it is similar; however it tests a different value--% of land is different than number of acres.

I expect a country in North Africa or the Middle East would claim that distinction amongst large countries, but I don't know. Also Monaco and the Vatican City have zero forest, so its hard to beat that.

I figure if someone put out more than a couple potted plants at a time in a microstate like Monaco or the Vatican, it'd totally screw up this whole forested statistic ;-)

Surprised to see Argentina so high up. I suppose like some of the other leaders it mainly makes it due to its immense size. From travelling pretty extensively there I can say you don't see a great deal of forest. It's either pampas, dry Andean highlands, desert or, in southern Patagonia, steppe and subpolar tundra. There are of course forests in the northeast (you see no shortage going to Iguazu) and nestled in amongst the lower slopes of the Andes, but I wouldn't have thought it would be quite that much. That number suggests around a third of the country's landmass is forested.

I'm surprised that Australia is so high all we have is The bush

Guys we need to use common terminology, who is going to get bush.

Missed Peru because I thought I'd already typed it, damn.

Maple Syrup production? I'd posit Canada might be #1 in that.

It's hard to think of things that we Americans aren't the best at.

Modesty.

Only one I missed. I never bother trying Myanmar when Burma doesn't work, because it's accepted on pretty much all other quizzes.

typed in "Burma" and it didn't get accepted...

Same.

I typed Burma but didn't work
