reforestation programs
Woodland restoration efforts
Reforestation programs are organized efforts to replant trees in areas where forests have been depleted by logging, fire, disease, or development.
These initiatives range from government-led national campaigns to local volunteer plantings.
The goals typically combine environmental restoration—preventing erosion, improving air quality, restoring wildlife habitat—with climate concerns, since forests absorb carbon dioxide: The country launched an ambitious reforestation program after decades of deforestation.
