Uganda has experienced a sharp decline in forest cover, from 24% in 1990, to 9% in 2015, and land degradation which is associated with soil erosion is equally increasing. In order to mitigate this, Uganda has prioritised forest restoration through existing national targets and a Bonn Challenge pledge.

Because of its varied geography and climate, Peru has a high biodiversity with 21,462 species of plants and animals reported as of 2003, 5,855 of them endemic. Peru committed to restoring 3.2 million hectares by 2020.

In England, objectives for forestry are set out in the Forestry and Woodlands Policy Statement (2013), including an aspiration to increase woodland cover from 10% to 12% by 2060, and Northern Ireland aims to double woodland cover to 12% by 2056.
