Reforestation is the process of returning areas of land that used to be forested back to their forested state. In many parts of the world, humans have damaged ecosystems by cutting down trees and other vegetation. When this happens, not only are the trees lost but also the ecosystem services they and the wider ecosystem provide.

The reforestation projects Ecologi supports help to reinvigorate ecosystems through planting native trees, but also through working with local communities to ensure the ongoing, sustainable use of the land. Through this approach, reforested land can bring a multitude of benefits to local people as well as local wildlife.
