Reforestation

Deforestation is when humans cut down trees and clear land to build or farm. Deforestation is bad for the environment because trees produce oxygen and provide food and shelter for animals. Trees are also used to stop erosion because their roots hold down soil. Reforestation is when humans plant new trees in previously deforested areas. These new trees grow and replace the trees that were cut down. I have never planted a tree before. I think that it is a good idea for people to plant new trees in areas damaged by deforestation. Trees do a lot for humans and their environment. We should “give back” to the trees by planting them in places where other trees are gone. Deforestation is one of the largest causes of climate change. Reforestation will improve the environment and help with climate change. We can battle climate change by planting new trees. Humans plant trees because they want to do something good for the environment.
