It has been estimated that more than 50% of Iceland's vegetation cover has disappeared due to erosion since the settlement period. Systematic revegetation and land reclamation began more than century ago with the establishment ofthe Soil Conservation Service of Iceland. Over the last decades, there have been numerous reforestation projects. The area covered by forests in the target countries is also large, while in Iceland the area covered by forest is 0.5% of the land area. The respective share is more than 50% in Estonia and Latvia, about 35% in Lithuania, 30% in Poland and 16% in Ukraine (World Bank, 2018).
