reforestation and afforestation
Reforestation refers to the process of strategically planting trees in areas where forests have been logged, damaged, or destroyed, aiming to restore the previous forest cover. Afforestation, on the other hand, involves the deliberate creation of new forests by introducing trees to areas that have never been forested before, such as deserts or bare lands. Both practices contribute to increasing forested areas and their associated benefits, like carbon sequestration and biodiversity conservation.
