Monday Motivation Word: Afforestation
#Afforestation
▪︎Call to action:
Promote the careful use of afforestation as a means to sequester carbon, restore degraded ecosystems, foster biodiversity, and support vulnerable communities.
Action Iteams –
▪︎Individuals:
Learn about the practice of afforestation and its many environmental benefits. Done diligently, afforestation can be an important climate solution that connects people to nature and supports local economies. Afforestation and reforestation both involve the planting of trees to create a forest. The two terms are sometimes used interchangeably, but the former typically occurs on land that has been without forest for a long period of time, due to severe land degradation for instance, or ever. Notable points:
• Afforestation is occurring on small and large scales in areas such as Iceland, where forests were first cleared centuries ago; in Bangladesh, on degraded coastal land; and in Beijing, to connect previously fragmented forest patches in the city.
• The world’s forests absorb a net 7.6 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide a year, which is 1.5 times more carbon than the United States emits annually.
GROUPS:
▪︎Professional Foresters and Local Forest Stewards
Follow afforestation best practices that rely on a diverse array of native tree species. Nonnative trees can accelerate the release of carbon because these trees often grow and decompose faster than native species. A recent study found that trees grown alongside at least one other species were taller, wider, and had about 25 percent more mass than trees grown in monocultures. Monocultures can degrade land by depleting soil nutrients, choke out native understory vegetation, and go against Indigenous forest-management practices.
Researchers:
▪︎Further explore the consequences of afforestation. Afforestation has been taking place for hundreds of years in many places including the Nordic countries, the Scottish uplands, Ethiopia, and South Africa. However, the scale and speed of afforestation today has been ratcheted up across the world.
Governance:
Deploy afforestation projects with the active participation and informed consent of local communities. Rural communities, and in particular Indigenous peoples, are key to afforestation projects. Indigenous groups manage about a quarter of the world’s lands and are experts in forest stewardship.

Arbor Day Foundation
