Problems with Reforestation
- More than 20 billion hectares of forest have management plans worldwide, according to the Global Forest Resources Assessment 2020 (FAO).
- When it comes to repairing a forest or beginning to recreate one, creating standards for the proper operation of forests is an essential first step because, as with any process, issues can develop at any time:
- Large forest crops may have the reverse of the desired result by dehydrating and depleting the soil as a result of high salinity.
- Reforestation can be harmful to the diversity of species or to agricultural products if it is impulsive, or, to put it another way, if it has a sound implementation plan.
- Reforestation that is poorly planned could result in a monoculture, which would affect both the habitats of the various forest animals and the diversity of the local flora.
- The wrong tree selection, planting technique, and positioning can all have detrimental effects. Additionally, the introduction of invasive species may result in the extinction of other species.
Reforestation
Without woods, life on Earth would not be possible. As the planet’s lungs, the forests and oceans play a critical role in the fight against climate change by absorbing 20 billion tonnes of CO2 annually. The principal gas that causes the greenhouse effect and is mostly to blame for global warming is CP2. The Sustainable Development Goals include taking care of and respecting Earth’s ecosystems because their value and relevance are so obvious (SDG).
Forests encompass almost a third of the earth. In terms of land area, that is 40.6 billion hectares. The water we drink, the food we eat, and the air we breathe all depend on these vast forested areas for survival.
