The concept of sustainable forestry includes reforestation, which involves replanting trees to restore forests that have been harvested or degraded.

Sustainable forestry practices aim to manage forests in a way that meets present needs for timber, fuel, and other forest products while ensuring the health and regeneration of the forest ecosystem for future generations. Reforestation is a key component, helping to replenish tree populations, maintain biodiversity, prevent soil erosion, and combat climate change by sequestering carbon. Unlike clearcutting or slash-and-burn practices, which can harm ecosystems, sustainable forestry focuses on careful management and restoration efforts.
