Types of Reforestation
Urban reforestation
- This is urban tree planting. The purpose is determined by the needs of the city: to modify the climate, green zones are beneficial for beating the heat, and to improve air quality. Heavy traffic in cities raises CO2 levels while providing more shady areas or improving the appearance of the environment.
Reforestation in rural areas
- Huge numbers of trees are planted in deforested areas that were once forests, jungles, or covered with semi-arid vegetation.
- Forests can also be planted in areas where none previously existed, though this is referred to as forestation.
- Depending on the intention, there are various subtypes of reforestation. Agroforestry and productive conservation, protection, and restoration.
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.
