The French authorities are planning large-scale reforestation in the country and intend to plant 50 million trees, Le Monde reported referring to the country's agriculture minister Julien Denormandie.

According to him, the issue of reforestation has been the most acute since the post-war period.

The country's authorities are ready to allocate about 200 million euros for this purpose, he added.

The minister noted that a huge challenge will be the selection of plants that can adapt to climate change, as well as finding enough seeds and trees for planting.
