indigenous forest
Original local trees
Indigenous forest refers to woodland composed of native tree species that developed naturally in a region without human introduction.
These forests evolved over long periods, forming complex ecosystems with local wildlife and plant communities.
The term distinguishes such forests from plantations or areas replanted with non-native species: The indigenous forest had never been logged.
Conservation efforts often focus on protecting remaining indigenous forest from development.
