Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Tree plantations can provide a sustainable alternative to using old-growth and second-growth forests for timber and other forest products, but only if they are established on previously degraded or deforested land, and not by clearing intact forests. This can help reduce pressure on natural forests and allow them to regenerate and be conserved.
