Reforestation is the process of restoring a forest that has been lost or degraded, while afforestation is the process of planting trees in an area that has never been forested before.
💡 Explanation:
Reforestation is the process of restoring a forest that has been lost or degraded, while afforestation is the process of planting trees in an area that has never been forested before. Reforestation is typically done in areas where forests have been cleared for agriculture, logging, or other development activities, while afforestation is typically done in areas that have never been forested due to natural factors such as climate or soil conditions.
