Afforestation, the strategic planting of trees on previously underutilised or mismanaged land, stands as a critical response to the ongoing degradation of our ecosystems and the persistent threat of deforestation.

It offers a multifaceted solution by countering deforestation, mitigating soil degradation, and providing a sustainable path forward in the face of mounting ecological concerns.
