Afforestation

Afforestation is the process of planting trees where trees have not been growing before. It is important because it helps us protect the environment by reducing the amount of pollution in the air and by providing habitats for animals. It also helps to reduce the amount of water runoff, since trees help the soil absorb and hold water. By planting more trees, we can also help fight global warming, since trees use carbon dioxide to grow, which is a gas that contributes to global warming. Finally, trees also provide us with wood for various uses, including lumber and furniture.
