#forestation = growing a forest
#ProForestation = growing an existing forest to it's fullest ecological potential.
#ReForestation = regrowing a forest where one was before. This is often done to stop
#deforestation and
#desertification.
#afforestation = growing a forest where none was before, e.g. to regenerate the soil or attract rain.
Some of my favorite forestation projects:
The
#GreatGreenWall of Africa - a project to stop the desertification of the Sahel region.
#Ecosia - the search engine that plants trees.
#ForestFinance - invest in forestation projects across the globe.
