What afforestation and reforestation is about
Reforestation commonly refers to restoring tree cover in a place with a forest history, while afforestation refers to establishing forest on land not recently forested. Both ideas need landscape history, ecological suitability, species choice, water, tenure, and management context.

What the label cannot settle on its own
Tree cover does not by itself establish ecological restoration, a quantified removal, biodiversity improvement, or lasting storage. Survival, disturbance, land-use trade-offs, and long-term stewardship matter.
