Reforestation is the process of planting new trees in an area where a forest has been cut down or destroyed.

Why planting trees is important.

We can use technology like automated tree-planters, to speed up reforestation.

By conserving our forests and planting new trees, we keep the environment, wildlife, and the people who rely on forest ecosystems safe.
