- Afforestation is the establishment of
a forest or stand of trees in an area where there was no forest.
- Reforestation is the reestablishment
of forest cover, either naturally (by natural seeding, coppice, or root
suckers) or artificially (by direct seeding or planting).
- Many governments and non-governmental
organizations directly engage in programs of afforestation to restore
forests, increase carbon capture and sequestration, and help to preserve
biodiversity.
- Because of the extensive Amazon
deforestation during the last decades and ongoing, the small efforts of
afforestation are insignificant on a national scale of the Amazon
Rainforest.
- Their afforestation programme not
only reduced landslides, but also solved the problem of fuel and fodder.
- Reforestation and afforestation have
both been integrated as forestry-based mitigation schemes into the
international climate change regime (i.e. the Kyoto Protocol).
- Both practices entail converting
non-forested land to forested land through planting, seeding
and/or the promotion of seed banks and sources.
- Afforestation applies to areas that
have not been forested for at least 50 years while reforestation applies
to land that used to be forested but was turned over to another land
use.
- Afforestation, reforestation, or
forest preservation projects that receive payment for ecosystem
services, such as carbon sequestration, should mainstream gender.
- Women should be included in the
design and implementation of the projects, as well as in the
distribution of benefits.
