5 Million Trees Down in Kinmen!? Statistical Experts Use Scientific Data to Prove It's Possible!

The Kinmen County Government reported catastrophic damage from Typhoon Meranti to the Executive Yuan, estimating approximately 5 million trees collapsed or broken. This figure drew widespread skepticism from netizens. However, the Facebook group 'Numeracy Lab' conducted a scientific analysis using official statistics, demonstrating that with over 60 square kilometers of forest land in Kinmen, the total tree count likely exceeds 10 million. Thus, losing 5 million trees is statistically plausible, debunking unverified conspiracy theories.
