reforestation efforts
Planting new forests
Reforestation efforts are organized initiatives to replant trees in areas where forests have been depleted by logging, fire, disease, or development.
The phrase treats tree-planting as a deliberate, often large-scale undertaking rather than natural regrowth: The nonprofit has led reforestation efforts across the Amazon basin.
Such efforts may aim to restore ecosystems, combat climate change, or prevent erosion.
