Forestation
Forestation simply means the planting of trees over a wide area. Forests act as the lungs of Earth by drawing down CO₂ and releasing life-sustaining oxygen into the atmosphere, while simultaneously conferring a multitude of other ecosystem benefits.

Introduction
Forestry is a proven, scalable, low-cost solution that utilises the power of trees. Forests all over the world take up carbon at differing levels, and in order to be considered carbon removal, new trees must be planted.
Forestation projects can provide co-benefits like livelihoods, biodiversity, or aid in food systems—but, when misused lead to mono-cropping or biodiversity reduction. So, they must be planned carefully to contribute towards fighting our climate goals.
