Afforestation: Planting trees in areas that are currently not forested, such as barren land or areas that have been cleared for agriculture.
Reforestation: Replenishing previously forested areas that have been depleted or damaged due to deforestation, natural disasters, or other causes.
Revegetation: Planting vegetation to restore degraded or damaged land, often for ecological purposes such as soil conservation or habitat restoration.
Commercial Forestry: Establishing plantations for the production of timber, pulpwood, firewood, or other forest products.
Environmental Restoration: Planting trees to improve air and water quality, reduce erosion, provide wildlife habitat, or sequester carbon dioxide.
Orchard Farming: Cultivating trees or shrubs for fruit production, such as apple orchards, orange groves, or vineyards.
Agroforestry: Integrating trees and crops or livestock on the same land to enhance crop yields, soil fertility, and provide additional products like fruits, nuts, and wood.
Social Forestry: Planting trees to address social needs, such as providing fuel, food, timber for local communities, or creating green spaces for recreation.
Silviculture: The practice of managing forest resources, which involves activities like tree planting, thinning, pruning, and harvesting to optimize forest growth and productivity.
Plantation programs can be initiated by governments, private landowners, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), or community groups. The type of plantation program, species selection, planting methods, and long-term management strategies vary depending on the specific objectives and environmental conditions.
