reforestation
Planting forests again
Reforestation is the process of replanting trees in an area where forest has been depleted, whether through logging, fire, disease, or other causes.
It differs from afforestation, which establishes forests where none previously existed.
Reforestation efforts may aim to restore ecosystems, combat climate change through carbon capture, or replenish timber resources.
The organization planted two million seedlings as part of its reforestation initiative.
