reforests
Restores tree cover
Reforests means replants trees on land that was once forested but has been cleared or degraded.
Governments and conservation groups reforest areas damaged by logging, fire, or agriculture: The organization has reforested thousands of acres of former farmland.
The effort aims to restore ecosystems, combat climate change, or replenish timber supplies.
