Question

Define reforestation

Answer 1

Reforestation is the natural restocking of existing forests and woodlands that have been depleted, usually through deforestation.

Answer 2

$\huge {\bf{\red{Reforestation}}}$

$\pink{\green {\sf{Reforestation}}}$ is restocking of destroyed forest by planting new trees. The planted trees should generally be of the same species which were found in that forest. We should plant a least as many trees as we cut.

Reforestation can take place naturally also. If the deforested area is small and is left undisturbed, it re-establishes itself. In natural reforestation, there is no role of human beings.

Humans have already caused tremendous damage to the forests. If we have to retain our green wealth for future generations, plantation of more trees is the only way out.

Forest (Conservation) Act of India is aimed at preservation and conservation of natural forests and meeting the basic needs of the people living in or near the forests.
