*         Afforestation: Afforestation is planting trees in a spot that previously didn’t have them in order to fight environmental challenges.
*         Reforestation: Reforestation is planting trees where forests have been clear cut or deforested, trying to bring back or revitalize a habitat that humans decimated.
*         Avoided Deforestation: Avoided deforestation is giving incentives to landowners to keep forests intact when they could otherwise clear land for agriculture and other profit.
8 Billion Trees specializes in all of these strategies, and also works to rehabilitate wildlife and provide sanctuaries for these displaced species.
